You have to ask. Have you a large amount of data on the drive you are writing to? Has it been defragged recently? Do you have any other USB devices on the same bus? Any of these items can cause a slow down of data transfer. Running the western digital diags on the drive may find soft sector errors which once resolved will result in faster transfer.

The diags can be found here:

Hope that helps.

Hey @yvesrouah!

The transfer speed depends on a lot of factors, so for the basic troubleshooting step I would suggest to try connecting the drive with a different USB cable (since this is an internal drive and you're writing about an USB connection speed) and to a different USB port.

If that doesn't help, then go into Device Manager find the drive and right click and select properties and select the tab Policies and check Better Performance. That might help.

Lastly, if using the drive in another port doesn't help you, update the USB drivers. To do that just right click on the USB Hubs in the Device Manager settings and see if their are any updates available by running the update driver option, it will need to be done as an online search, if it finds one update then it only updates the port selected, you will need to update all individually.

Hope this helps and best of luck! :)
