I recently bought a WD Elements hard drive. I am only getting 10-25 MBps speed while copying. Crystal DiskMark gives about 36 MBps read speed and 30 MBps write speed in USB 2.0 mode. What is the problem?
Are you reading and writing to the Elements while testing? You need to test by copying to/from another HDD, preferably an internal.
Do you have other USB devices installed?

I was only testing, nothing else. Copying was done from internal Segate Baracuda 1TB. Other USB devices like Mouse and Keyboard are installed, but on other ports. My drive is directly connected to back USB port.
