Slow USB Transfer Rate on Desktop but not Laptop - Both Windows 7
Hey there,
Been having this problem for a while and I have been searching and searching and cannot find a solution. I know there are very simliar threads but like I said I cannot find a solution.
I own a custom built desktop with the following :
i7-940 cpu
intel dx58so motherboard
8gb of ram
nvidia gts250
Thermaltake TRX-750M Power supply 750W
if any more information is needed on the build let me know.
I recently noticed the transfer rate really slow, at an average about 1.5MB/s.
I have tried enabling Better Performance option but what happens is that it starts really fast and then goes down to about 1.5MB/s anyways and usually just freezes or stops.
I also have a laptop, its an Acer Aspire AS5745DG-6681. Specifications are:
Intel Core i5-480M, 15.6" HD (1366x768) LED-backlit, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Blu-ray Combo Drive, NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M 1GB, Wireless N, HDMI, Webcam, 9-cell, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I updated the RAM to 8GB on the laptop.
Using the same external hard drive, I can get rates at an average of 30MB/s and better performance is also disabled on the laptop.
I Don't know what the difference is they both have Windows 7 64 bit, just the laptop is Home Premium and my desktop is Windows 7 Enterprise.
Anyone have any ideas that can shoot me in the right direction?
Thank you
PS. Forgot to mention I recently reformated and did a fresh install of windows 7 and see if it would solve the problem but it didnt.
And also tried booting in safe mode to see if the rate would increase but it stays the same.
Thanks
