Western digital usb 3.0 external hard drive slow transfer rate
Last response: in Windows 7
Hello,
My western digital usb 3.0 external hard drive is giving only 1 MB/Sec transfer rate. I know its really very slow. Can any one let me know what we could do increase the speed.
Thanks in Advance.

Firstly, reformat the drive to NTFS (its probably FAT32 and this slows the drive considerably).
The next step would be actually checking if you have USB 3 on your computer - you may only have USB 2, hence the slow transfer rate (actually, thats really slow even for USB 2).
Check if anything has improved - if they havent then maybe install/update your USB drivers. Go to Device Manger and right click on the USB icon and click "update driver".
