Hi there saadgamer_17,

One thing you can do is to go to your MOBO's website and update USB 3.0 drivers.
Have you tried to transfer just a single, big file?(instead of multiple small ones)

It may be a good idea to check the drive's health status out. You can either test it with a brand specific or a third party HDD testing tool, that will provide a SMART report.

Cheers,
