Ridiculously Slow File Transfer

s.sanercazkerf · Jun 15, 2018

I have a 1 TB Toshiba external hard drive and about 700gb of it is full. Even when I try to transfer a 700 MB file the speed just goes down to 0 and it takes a lot more time than it should. But the other day when I was trying to transfer some videos that are about 500 MB it went almost perfectly.

I'm trying to transfer the 700 MB file that I mentioned and this is how it looks like after 10 minutes.

It sounds like you have bad fragmentation on your 1TB disk.

I actually can't check for that because the scanning speed goes down to 0 over time as well

I would check the SMART data to see if you have an actual hardware problem.

cmd says ok but...

A 181 hours, and 16000+ reallocated sectors. Was this a used drive? Was the laptop dropped? This just doesn't add up. But I would believe your data is at risk. You need to get anything off of that drive that is important IMO.

This drive was sitting in a closet for 4-5 years and was used only a few times for big transfers. I just can't understands what is going on. And how can I get the important stuff while it can't transfer a 700 MB file
