I have 2 Hard Drives. WD and Seagate both 1 TB.
Questions:
1. RANDOMLY DISCONNECTS
I am transfering a lot of large files from WD to Seagate. In the process of transferring WD gets disconnected. (I am not sure if it gets disconnected or it randomly locks since it has WD Smartware). WHen this happens I can hear the disconnect ping sound and WD would give me an autoplay screen. So I unlock it again and the cycle continues..
I have tried disabling the locker but same thing happens. I've tried different ports and connectors and different pc's as well. Same thing happens. I do not know what is causing it to disconnect at random times. It's beginning to get inconvenient because when I transfer large files and it gets interrupted, I start all over again. Can someone please tell me?
2. SLOW TRANSFER RATE
When I transfer files from computer's internal drive to WD & Seagate and vice versa, the speed is fast.
When I transfer from Seagate to WD. Still fast.
But when I transfer from WD to Seagate, 1 GB would take 15 minutes to complete the transfer process. Why is this happening?
I tried tweaking it in Control Panel fro better performance, tried different ports, connectors and pc's.
*All answers will be greatly appreciated. I am desperate to know the solution. I am worried my WD might be defective since i just got it today.
