Takes more time for file transfer with Caviar GP and Windows 7

[Joss]

Hello friends, I understand too time-consuming file transfer among windows 7 and (Caviar GP) my HDD. at what time I transfer files from one panel to another or one drive to the next drive, or even copy inside the partition I find a speed of fifty to eighty but too rapidly it go down to about 5MB/s which is actual slow. I have used Western Digital’s Data LifeGuard, Defragmented, detached the "Remote discrepancy Compression" part which is identified to slow down file transferring Windows 7, and also put out of action the Windows Indexing examine. I have also run a rapid test among HD Tune which appears to have sensible results. Please suggest me if you have any solution.

At what time you tell about copying files from one drive to another, are you talking about copying between dissimilar drive letters (for example, from C: to D: )? If so, are those drive letters actually on dissimilar HDD, or are they two panels on the similar physical disk? If they are two panels on the similar disk, then slow transfer speeds are to be predictable as the head quickly look for back and onward in order to read from one file and write to the other. The superior rate you observe at the beginning of the copy is since Windows is reserving the file writes into RAM - at what time it is RAM cache fills up and it starts in fact transfer the data to the disk the transfer speed drops since of having to stay for the head seeking.

I am presuming that your means "one panel" labeled as "D:" on the subsequent drive. If you are running Task Manager {“Ctrl + Shift + Esc”} and choose the "presentation" tab, is the central processing unit too busy at the same time as you are transferring files to or from some of these drives? If you, your drives might have gone down into PIO mode which can sluggish things down fairly a bit. I hope this information will helpful.

I have encountered this one, my friend purchased a WD Data Lifeguard and applies it to copy movies from my HDD to his WD, pair of weeks the transfer speed is excellent but after that we require to wait longs hours. He purchased a novel one and he did not have that difficulty yet again - possibly factory defects. I search out a mixed of Windows 7 and Linux and Vista (32bit and 64bit) and I use WD studio with NTFS, GUID on it and I have no troubles with it.

If in the SMART test in WD's DataLifeGuard it is declared the test was okay, so you can ensure for wire or media problems. And to ensure for bitlocker drive encryption, you have go in Start and then write "Bitlocker" in the Search box and then hit "Bitlocker Drive Encryption". You will notice a list of your HDD along with a signal of whether encryption is "off" or "on" for all. If you do not observe any mistake in the SMART information then your wiring is almost certainly okay. Wiring mistake would probable explain as a non-zero "UltraDMA CRC Error Count" or incredible alike.
