Transferring questions

[Joelbanks5]

So I'm transferring an app that I use quite frequently from my HDD to my SSD, it's taking quite a while. Is there anyway to speed this up? If not what should I do for future reference to make the speeds go faster?

 

if you need to know my specific storage devices they're on my profile page where my build is.

Hard drives cannot read data as fast as an SSD. I don't think you can speed it up.

Ik that much but for 6GB to transfer taking 49 mins seems a little longer than it should be.

Idk maybe it's just me

Ideally you would sequentially read the data off the disk instead of copying per file, the only way I know of doing this in Winblows is by defragging the disk; but you will find that will increase your total time spent. If you were using a Unix based OS you would have more options.

 

In the future use mechanical drives in pairs in RAID0. Id rather buy two 1Tb drives than one 2Tb drive because the speed will be double

How would I run them in raid0? And what is the difference in the number after raid? For example raid0 or raid2

raid 0 stripes data over two disks giving you 2X speed. You don't need to be concerned with other RAID levels, RAID 0 for two drives is the best performer. If you're on Windows you should probably set up RAID through BIOS, I dont know if Windows has implemented software RAID yet.
