Really low transfer speeds (35-40 mBps)

[SpectraXCD]

Exactly what the title says, I'm getting really low transfer speeds in my everyday use. At first i thought it was my external HDD but now I tried copying something from my internal HDD to my SSD, but it's still the same.

I use a Lenovo Legion Y720 laptop and have an ADATA NH03 3TB ext HDD.

This is the transfer (copying) I get from my 2TB int HDD to SSD

 

Previously I tried copying gigabytes of videos to my ext HDD and found that the speeds are still around the same value through USB 3.0.

I tried

- enabling better performance and write caching from device manager

- disabling USD selective suspend while plugged in

- installing a USD driver from the Lenovo support (but that was probably a thunderbolt driver. it said Thunderbolt USB which made it confusing for me)

 

And finally to test if there was something wrong with the HDD themselves i tried using HD Tune to test it out and here are the results.

For my int HDD:

 

And for my ext HDD:

 

So, unless I'm doing the wrong tests, there isn't anything wrong with my hard drives, but I'm still getting less than 50 MB/s transfer speeds??? What's going on? And how do I fix this? :'(

You were testing read-speeds. Test write-speeds instead.
