Extremely Slow speeds using e-sata and usb 3 external raid box
Hi there guys,
I have a hotway 4 bay usb 3.0/e-sata box that is currently in RAID and when connected to either e-sata or USB3.0 I am experiencing really slow speeds. On average 2.48MB/s.
To describe what happens, the speed shows anywhere from 70-200MB/s when I first try to copy things over (File types and sizes seem to be irrelevant as Ive tried different types and sizes), about 2 seconds in to the file transfer it then seems to freeze for a moment and then the speed slows drastically to above mentioned speeds.
Here are some details on my system,
windows 7 64bit home premium
gigabyte z68-ud5-b3
corsair force gt 120gb ssd
hotway 4 bay usb3.0/esata PRORAID box
with 3x WD caviar green and 1X Seagate barracuda all 1TB
(Currently in raid 10, but experience this in RAID 5 aswell, have not tried RAID 0/1)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
