Slow hard drive transfer

Solved

Hello, I am explaining my problem:

I have an SSD (Windows 7 on it)

I have hard drive 1 (465 GB) partitioned into 200 and 265 (dynamic disk)

I have hard drive 2 (465 GB) unpartitioned (basic disk) ==> the problem comes from this one as it is used to store videos, etc. When I send files to it from another source, the transfer is correct, but when I try to send in the opposite direction from HDD 2 to another support (USB stick, HDD 1), it is incredibly slow (like 8 GB would take 8 hours according to the calculation)

No transfer problems with HDD 1

For your information, they are connected via SATA; this is a backup disk that comes from another PC that I added this week.

Did I make a mistake somewhere or is there a setting that hasn't been done?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Best regards

    Hello sanko74,

    I would recommend starting, first, with an examination of your DD2 status via the diagnostics offered by the respective manufacturer's utilities.

    Checking the DD using Windows tools won’t hurt ;) :
    Windows Explorer > Right-click on the volume in question > Properties > Tools > Error checking > Check both boxes ("Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and "Automatically fix file system errors") > Start.
    This may take some time...

    Alternatively, you can run a CHKDSK from the command line ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc730714(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN ) :
    * CHKDSK [<Volume> [[<Path>] <FileName>]] [/ r] : the equivalent of "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"
    * CHKDSK [<Volume> [[<Path>] <FileName>]] [/ f] : the equivalent of "Automatically fix file system errors"
    Be careful with the syntax ;)

    Defragmenting DD2 ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ways-to-improve-your-computer-s-performance-c6018c78-0edd-a71a-7040-02267d68ea90#1TC=windows-7 ) would be a good idea to tidy things up.

    Don't forget to also perform a Disk Cleanup ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/tips-to-free-up-drive-space-on-your-pc-4d97fc4a-0175-8d49-ac2f-bcf27de46d34#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=windows- 7 ) to clear all temporary files.

    I would also suggest checking the settings of your antivirus that monitors everything transitioning from one DD to another.

    Indeed, starting your computer in safe mode ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode-b90e7808-80b5-a291-d4b8-1a1af602b617#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 ) will allow you to run a scan for potential malware and update the drivers of devices that may be causing instability.

    Let me know how it goes, please :)
