    How to see the real time data transfer rate during a file transfer?


    How do I enable file transfer data speed to show during a file transfer? e.g. 100MB/s.


    When I copy a file, or move a file, all I see is the transfer box and a green progress bar. There is no data speed rate shown. I recall being able to click "more details", or something akin, in Windows 7 during a file transfer to show the data transfer rate in real-time. Thanks.

    :)

    Understanding data transfer rates


    The numbers in Task Manager and Resource Monitor make sense but I don't follow your calculations.

    Task Manager is showing a raw transfer rate of 5.0 Mb/s. That is 5,000,000 bits per second. As there are 8 bits per byte that equates to 5,000,000/8 or 625,000 Bytes per second. That is considerably higher than the 483,000 shown in Resource Monitor but that is easily explained. Task Manager is showing the total data transferred over the network interface while Resource Monitor is showing the actual transfer rate to the file in question. TCP/IP is a complex protocol with multiple levels of overhead. 483,000/625,000=.7728, or about 77.28% transfer efficiency.

    Cable to transfer files

    OMG. I have never met anyone who actually bought one of those file transfer things.



    Firewire will do the same as USB, but faster, so will a cheap crossover cable. I can wlak you through the steps of moving data so you will not miss a beat.




    Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.

    Transfer file from rig to rig

    I'd go for the physically transfer the hard drive, then copy data. Finally returning the drive to where it came. This is the faster transfer rate.
