Windows 10: Slow data transfer speed

I bought HP-15dk0045tx recently with 8 gb ram.

Afer two months i have data transfer speed issue.

My pc transfers data to USB at less than 2 mbp.

i have tried at 3.0 port but nothing changed.

But same USB transfers data at good speed in other laptop.

I m really worried about my laptop.

Help me to get out.

Slow data transfer speed.

Hi,

One of the possible reason that this issue occurs is due to the driver compatibility after Windows upgrade. For us to isolate the issue, we’ll need the following details:

• What type of data transfer speed are you referring to? Is it internet connection speed or file transfer speed?
• If you are referring to file transfer speed, are you using USB drive or Bluetooth to process file transfer? or,
• If you are referring to internet connection speed, are you using Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi?
• Can you tell us any troubleshooting you've done so far?

We'll be waiting for your response.

 

Slow data transfer speed.

We appreciate you getting back to us. To resolve your issue about file transfer speed, we recommend you to run the Hardware and Devices, and System Maintenance troubleshooter as an initial troubleshooting. To do that, follow these steps:

• Right-click the Start button then select Control Panel.
• Change the View by option on the top-right to
  Large icons.
• Click on Troubleshooting, and click on the View all option on the left pane.
• Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.
• Once done, run the System Maintenance troubleshooter.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Ridiculously slow transfer speeds

Hi there

@Lequarius

1) try and remove any sort of optimising off an SSD drive - these don't need it - especially with that CPU you have
2) disable all A/V (Anti Virus software) apart from WD (Windows defender).

The other thing is that HDD transfer is highly dependent on the RPM speed and cache size of the HDD -- don't worry about the SSD - it has no moving parts and speed is light years faster than typical classical HDD's anyway.

If you've got slow RPM disks with a small cache size you'll get hideously slow transfer even if you had the fastest cray supercomputer on the planet with the fastest I/O bus around.

HDD's should be at least 7200 RPM or even better at 10,000 RPM with the largest possible cache size. A slow 5400 RPM HDD (probably what your 2TB disk is with a tiny cache) -- will make a system run as slow as molasses for data transfer !!!!

Without knowing more about the physical engineering specs of that machine I can't suggest anything else -- but you should be getting normally at least 300 - 500 Mb/s transfer speeds on average. I assume its direct file transfer and not over a LAN or wifi.
