Hello All,
Recently I've been basically unable to launch any programs on my USB 3.0 WD Elements external harddrive while I'm writing files (downloading at anywhere from 3 - 15 mb/s) to the drive. Anything I try to launch would do so extremely slowly, and games would pretty much not function. From what I know, this is not normal.
I've run Crystal Disk Mark a few times, and the sequential read/write is at around 90 mbps, while the random read/write is at about 0.5 mbps.
EDIT: To clarify, I'm strictly talking about reading media files and launching programs from the drive. Everything runs smoothly as long as I'm not downloading.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks!
