Outboard hard drive slooowwwwww transfer rate
In article ,
RichA wrote: The hard drives in my computer are fast at transferring data. nowhere near as fast as an ssd. Even two outboard ones I have are. But I got a hard drive caddy from Orico (USB 3) and it seems stuck at 355kB KB/s. Exceedingly slow. Shows the same data rate whether plugged into a USB 3 slot or USB 2 slot. Hard drives used are SATA 7200rpm WD's. if they're slow without the caddy, then they could be failing. |

Unfortunately, I'll have to mount them in computer to see, which the caddy was to allow me to avoid. use an external usb dock to test (or usb enclosure but that usually requires tools). |

Very odd. what does smart say? you will likely need to mount the drive internally, unless the dock supports smart (and you have the appropriate drivers). |

This is a PC so no Android involvement. It's Windows 8.1. no. i mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. |
