What are your average Transfer Speeds?

[Gatheredbob]

Hey everyone! I have 3 SATA hard drives. All of which are 7200RPM and 2 of which are in a JBOD to create a 1300 GB partition. Anyway before put the HDs in the JBOD config i backed up all of my data which came out to be 350GB to the 1 HD that was not in the JBOD. When transfering the data back to the two HDs in the JBOD i was averaging 60 MB/s Mega Bytes to clarify. MY MOBO has 3Gb/s SATA II Interface. So i was wondering what is the average speed you guys have while transfering files to and from other HDs and what might I do to speed up my transfers.

My HDD:
Samsung HD103SJ (SATA2, 32MB Cache)

As you can see from the screen-shot, my average transfer rate is 112 megabytes per second.


A format always helps (so long as you can back files up or don't have anything valuable. A defrag. is a good thing too but if you don't do one often then it will take virtually forever. Disk cleanups are small-scale but can speed things up a little. Delete any temporary files that you don't need anymore too, obvious one.

What model(s) of drive(s) are you using?

The size of the transferred files has a big effect on the transfer speed. I have two 7200rpm SATA drives (750GB, 1Tb). If I transfer files that are on average 100 Mb per file, transfer speed is about 75 Mb/s. With files that have an average size of 6 Kb, the transfer speed is only 2 Mb/s.
