Hello everyone today I got an external Hard drive and when I drag & dropped some files over (size was 337gb) the speed is about 6mb/s no higher then 8-10. I see this as a real problem because the time to copy the files are over 24 hours.... I don't know a whole lot about computers, But I do know that when I copy stuff on the computer I normally get about 25mb/s. So the question is does anyone out there know how to speed up this transfer from my main hard drive to my external hard drive?

Thank for the help :D
