I have an older USB 2.0 HDD caddy that I'm transferring large files to (10-15GB) and it's taking around 30 minutes for each one with a max speed
of around 7 MB/s. USB 2.0 should have a speed of around 35 MB/s which would be tolerable.
I don't know why it's going so slow, from a USB 2.0 or 3.0 laptop gives the same speed. Anyone know if there is any setting in Windows I need to adjust? Is it just that the single large file rather than lots of little ones is causing this? The drive is 3.5" 7200 RPM.
