I have an MSI Laptop, and everything runs fine except for my disk transfer rate. When I'm transferring files just in my C Drive, and also between my C Drive and D Drive
I have Windows 8 64 bit
3rd gen Intel i7 processer @ 2.4ghz
4 GB DDRIII Ram
750gb 7200rpm Hard drive.
500gb on the C Drive (OS Drive) and 200 gb on the D Drive.
Also if it helps I have a Nvidia Geforce GT 645m 2gb DDR3, as well as an Intel HD 4000
My problem is transferring files in my computer. It will start out at 70mbps and then over the course of 5-6 seconds drop down to 15mps and stay like that for the whole transfer. Its driving me insane, because my sister who has a crap 7 year old computer can stay at a constant 50mbps
When I am transferring something, if i look into the Task Manager, It shows 100% Disk usage, only 2-4% Processeor Usage, and about 50% Ram usage, SO I don't think that its my Ram or My processor.
I have tried disabling my antivirus, and lots of other things but nothing seems to be working.
One thing I feel is important to mention though, is that I have a notification in my notifications bar, that says Intel RST Service is not running, however when I open it, it says it My system is functioning normally etc.
If someone could please help me I would be so grateful. Thanks so much.
EDIT:
Ok so I found a website reviewing the same laptop as mine, but with an i5 processor, a weaker graphics card and only 500gb HDD with only 5200rpm. And the benchmark results for the transfer rate are as follows:
Transfer Rate Minimum: 40.3 MB/s
Transfer Rate Maximum: 114.2 MB/s
Transfer Rate Average: 87.5 MB/s
Access Time: 20.2 ms
Burst Rate: 115.8 MB/s
CPU Usage: 0.9 %
How can that laptop, which has a weaker HDD and processor, be so much faster than mine? If you guys could please help me out I am going crazy.
