When I send data files (mp4 movies) my transfer speeds are about 1.75 MB/s. I use the BD for backup because it is cheap per GB. Isn't This speed slow ? Can I speed it up ? I am using 6x speed for burning and Windows 10 "send to".

Blu-ray or DVD are not good for backups because the writable discs will be unreadable after a few years. An external USB hard drive is generally an affordable backup solution.
1.75 MB/s is slow if you are just writing files to blu-ray. 6X write speed should be around 27 MB/s which will write a single layer disc in 15 minutes. This speed would make more sense if you were doing any encoding of the video, e.g. converting video format to write the disc as a playable blu-ray rather than a data disc.

Thanks. My question about the slow speed though and speeding it up.

Are you writing data files to a disc (blu-ray or dvd), or writing video to the disc?
Do you see the same speed if you write other files (not video or audio)?
How long does it take to burn a full DVD?

As I said, the speed you are seeing is slow if just writing data files. To make it faster we first need to find what is wrong.

I am sending movies in mp4 format to a blu-ray as data files. I will try other files and let you know. As far as i know i am burning data not movies. I burn about 20 movies to a blu-ray and the play back fine with VLC. Thanks !

I just sent a file of pictures (52.5 MB). Average speed was 355KB, yes kilo, and 2 seconds at1.7MB. I did disable cache on both drives with no change in transfer rate.
