This drive is advertised with a Transfer Rate of 5Gbp/s which equals 625 MB/s
The max read write speeds are no where near those speeds. At most, using a USB C to USB Micro-B cable to the WD Easystore 5TB Drive, I’m only getting around 110 MBp/s - I’m plugging the cable from the WD Drive directly to a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro MAX.
This cable should be able to handle 10Gbp/s speeds so it’s not the cable.
I formatted the drive using Disk Utility using a APFS Encrypted Format.
Thank you for the canned response but it seems you didn’t read my post. It’s a really simple question. Can someone expect to get 625MBs using a 5TB Easystore portable USB drive? Everywhere I’ve looked everyone is saying no - the max transfer rate is about 140MBs - Which is it? Please no more canned responses. Waiting a week for a canned response really ■■■■■.
I have the same question, tested out on windows, on Mac, docker. used the original usb cable, with and without usb-a to usb-c adapter. tested with black magic tool. And I got a firm 99-102 mb/s writing and 99-102 mb/s reading speed. Don’t even know how you can speed that up to 140mb/s.
