Disk transfer speed slow
Hi,
My system has two Western Digital WD10EARS 1TB drives specced at 3GB/s. When I was transferring some files between these drives I noticed the speed reported was only between 27MB/s and 70MB/s. I haven't really looked at transfer speed until now and then only because I was copying a lot of files and it seemed to be taking longer than expected.
Does anyone know if this transfer rate is typical or, if not, how I might find out what the bottleneck is?
