Recently, about 2 months ago, I purchase a 2tb wd usb 3.0 external, at first, for about 3 weeks I was transferring at 120 MB/s , now when I am transferring files it transfers at about 46 MB/s, which is a big drop. I normally transfer about 100 GB of files daily, and this is a painstakingly slow process.Can anyone tell me what's wrong.
The harddrive never fell, no damage, plugged into a surge protector.. My 2.5 inch Usb 3.0 transfers seemingly fast. I get about 85 MB/s with it, but its the WD 2 TB That's the problem.
Here are some additional information:
Operating System is Windows 8 PRO
Laptop is an Asus A55VD-AH71 with intel core i7 ivybridge, 7200 rpm hdd
Device Manger specifies my 2tb usb 3.0 as 'WD My Book 1140 USB Device'
Ports are USB 3.0
Harddrive giving problem:WDBACW0020HBK-NESN
I am a well seasoned IT Technician and a Senior Software Developer
So Please if you have to explain in details, and technicalities please do. If you can make it as simple as possible, go right ahead, for future references. I just need my hard drive transferring back at roughly 120 MB/s instead of 46 MB/s
Thanks in Advance
