HDD high average response time

[KingFaris17]

Hi, I am copying a game from my external HDD (which is ~3-4 years old) to my internal HDD (which is less than 1 years old). My external HDD average response time is between 1-20ms whereas my internal HDD's average response time is between 100-1100ms (Has reached 1000+ms a few times). Is there an issue with my HDD or something, not sure if this is normal. My SSD has an average response time of 0-0.2ms (AFAIK).

Maybe the USB(or other interfaces) that your using is bottleneck your speeds. It could just be that your external HDD is really bad

His internal HDD has those huge response times... Not the external thingy.

^ This is probably my main cause of concern, how can a HDD connected directly to the motherboard have much higher average response times to a 4 year old external HDD connected via USB 3.0.

Bump.
