Guys, i just got my Seagate Desktop HDD.15 4TB 64MB SATA-3 3.5" Internal Hard Disk Drive ST4000DM000

 

I'm moving all my data from my old HDD and the speed is about 60 - 80 MB/s 

 

Is there any way in which i can increase the hard drive speed of transfer?

Thank you a lot 

 

My specs are as follows :

The transfer speed will depend (among other things) on how

large the files are which you are moving around. The smaller

the files, the slower the transfer speed. For very small

sizes, speeds can drop down to a few megabytes/s.

For mixed data (which I'm assuming is what you're moving

around), your speeds sound about right. If all you're moving

are very large media files (say, a few gigabytes in size

each), it could be higher, but for "normal" files this

doesn't sound that unreasonable.

You are bound to the speed of the slow drive in this case and motherboard ports you have that drive and the new one. Then you don't even list what the old drive is.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

That's like a good speed.
