How to increase hard drive transfer speed
- by atif089
This is my motherboard
GA-M61PME-S2
(SATA upto 3.0 Gbps)
and This is my Hard Disk
Samsung hd502hi
Capacity 500 GB
Cache 16MB
Disks / Heads 1 / 2
Interface SATA 3Gb/s
Spindle Speed 5400 RPM
Sustained Data Rate OD 100 MB/s
Average Seek 8.9 ms
Average Latency 5.56 ms
Data Transfer Rate 300 MB/sec
Weight 470 grams
Power: Idle / Seek / R-W / Spin-up 3.9W / 4.8W / 5.1W / ~24W
Acoustics (sound power) 2.2 / 2.7 Bel (idle / quiet seek / performance seek)
When I copy things from one partition to another they transfer at a maximum of 30 MBps. However the drive supports upto 300 MBps right ?
How do I increase the transfer speeds?
P.S - Using Windows XP, All partitions are NTFS.
