I recently connected another 500gb wd internal hdd but when i started copying data from old hdd to the other it is responding very slowly showing speeds upto 100-150KB/s and stops after 5-10s.
I used HWiNFO32 and it shows in the S.M.A.R.T than Drive warning as Yes
Also the sata (III) connection of my first hdd is green tick and the other is a warning sign
Is this the problem of sata cable or hdd
please help me out
the sata cable used for the new hdd is not connected for 3-4 months
 


Teh cable prolly has nothing to do with it. It's definitely the drive and it's issue but this also depends on what you are trying to copy.
