External HD speeds
I just tried copying files from my F drive to my I drive and even trying to open the I to explore it bogged my computer down to a standstill. I finally got it to start copying files and it took 20 minutes and hardly made a dent. Simple text files took way too long. I had to stop it.
I had the same slowness back when I had my G drive I lost but even it was faster than this one. Any clue as to why it's so slow? I tried turning off my Antivirus read and writing checking but that wasn't option. I set it to check when reading only as it had been set to reading and writing checking. I figured that had to be faster than doing both.
Maybe my computer is just too old and slow? I do know that the speed of the USB port makes a difference but I don't know how to check them.
