Make HDDs move my stuff faster

Those speeds you saw would have been for large "sequential" transfers.  Games tend to consist of these, as well as many small files, and those small files will move much slower, particularly between HDDs.

I'm moving my steam files to my bigger Hard drive, but the process is just going painfully slow.(moving from C: to D:)  Crystaldisk said that C: had 90 mb/s writing and reading, and that D: had 150, yet I don't really see that. I have no program running except for the process of moving the files and google chrome rn, and the speed it gets moved extremely varies (sometimes 100 mb/s, most of the time 8-20). Is there any way to make this go faster?
