HDD data transfer software recommendation needed

Go to solution Solved by m0k,

honestly considering windows is trying to identify,calculate,move a lot of data in one command 10-30mb seems perfectly normal, i would just let it transfer overnight

 

i personally use Acronis True Image but its a free copy i got with my SSD

 

A lot of people also recommend Macrium Reflect HD - its a free software 

So I am trying to transfer the data from my old 1tb WD Blue to my new 4tb Seagate Barracuda (keep in mind, not OS disk). I usually use Minitool partition wizard free edition but the free version only supports MBR but in order to get one 3.7 tb volume I need GPT format type, I would normally just go into windows explorer and ctrl-C and ctrl-V to transfer the files but I am getting some abysmal speeds considering they are connected via SATA Directly to another computers MoBo (10-30 MB/s). Does anybody have a recommendation for some software that would work for this?
