Troubleshooting slow writing speed with external WD: 1 MB/s

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. You wrote: “Did you test if the same transfer speed is experienced when transferring files from the Mac to the drive?”

Yes. As I have mentionned I did all my tests with the drive plugged directly in my laptop.

You also wrote: “The connection could be slower considering the transfer comes from one external drive to the other.”

Indeed. I’m aware of that. But in any case, a 1 MB/s writing speed is abnormal for a USB 2.0 connexion. Even on a 5400rpm HD.
