So I was updating cold war and I noticed the download speed was low so I tested my read wright and these are my results. My Wi-Fi speeds are 100Mb up 10 down and its hardwired. does it seem right and if not is there anything I could do to speed it up. its a Samsung 2Tb SATA SSD that I'm downloading on to.

Those speeds look perfectly fine for a SATA drive. You're limited by your network connection anyway, and it looks like you're right at the 100Mb/s limit based on the download bar in the background because 12.5MB/s is equal to 100Mb/s.

You meant 100 down 10 up? Never seen upload higher than download.

 

100 / 8 = 12.5 like others said. You pay for 100mbps, not 100mb/s (800mbps). If you want faster speed you have to get a better speed plan, but generally 100mbps is fine for most tasks.

  • mb/s = megabytes (mb) per second (megabit / 8)
  • mbps = megabits (mbit) per second (megabyte x 8)

Try running a speedtest. If the result is +/- 100 everything is fine. If not, try rebooting your router and if that doesn't work contact your ISP. However, in the screenshot it shows it's downloading at 12.5mb/s which is what you should get.

 

Those drive speeds are fine, it's limited by SATA and upgrading to NVME won't give much performance boost unless you do file transfers on the same drive or between another NVME.
