My WD External Hard Disk is too slow when copying from my System

[rnallamilli]

I have WD 700 GB External Hard Disk with 365 GB free space available. I am trying to copy data from my Laptop into my hard disk and the copy speed is less than 1MB. I am using Terra Copy software to copy. When i try to use another exteranal hard disk (Seagate) and its copying at close to 36MBPS which is fine and some time close to 70 MBPS.

Please help.

Thanks,

Raman Nallamill

What model drive and firmware do you have?

Has this problem started to happen recently?

Make sure to test the drive for problems with our Data Lifeguard Diagnostics.
