Slow transfer speeds

Hi,

I am currently transferring some large files from one disc to another but the transfer speeds don't seem to go above 16mbs. Some of them are iso files around 5 gig. Should this make a difference?

I have 4 Seagate Barracudas at 7200rpm. 3 300 gb drives, 1 750 gb drive and a Maxtor 10 at 300gb's. I am trasnferring from a Seagate to the Maxtor 10.

Cheers in advance.

Steve

Are they connected with SATA or IDE cables?
SATA cables are faster than IDE's.

They are connected with Sata.

Slow Transfer Speeds in Windows 7

I am getting 23 MBs/sec between 2 sata drives - not good. They are SATA 1, but still!! When I transfer from SATA to IDE, I am getting 7 MBs/sec. ouch.

If someone has anything to add that might help, please help!

I tried upgrading the VIA chipset drivers (MSI 6702E - VT8735 I believe) - double checked with CPUZ, and they would not install as it said it could not find hardware suitable for the upgrade, even though I triple checked what I downloaded and tried to install.

Do you have any other symptoms that may suggest a solution. clean boot, etc.

Here I want you to go into the New Year with a smile because we got your puter working good again. Try this.
