Western digital usb 3.0 external hard drive slow transfer rate

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".
