The physical connection has nothing to say in general. The data rate depends on the device’s data rate and its contoller. 3.0 can theoretically be 5 Gbit/S, thus 640 MByte/S.

Hello,

external USB HD hard drives can be used to achieve optimal values of 100 to 160 MB/s, but only if they are large sequential files. The 2.5″ plates are usually somewhat slower than the 5.25 tariffs. The transfer rate collapses significantly (under 1 MB/s) when many small files are transferred and the hard drive is heavily fragmented or almost full.

60 MB/s can therefore be quite normal.

With CrystalDiskMark you can test or compare your hard drives.

What’s that hard drive? HDD or SSD? And where are the data stored on your PC, HDD or SSD?

General: Because both are connected via USB 3.0, it does not mean that the full transmission rates are also used. If a part only gets a low speed in reading or writing, it is of course not possible to use the full rate.

That doesn’t work. The HDD does not create such speeds

Why slow? Look how fast this was in the beginning. As long as there is no external SSD or similar, you will not be able to read and write much more than 100 MB/s. Even at a 6 GBit/s SATA controller, you won’t write more than 116 MB/s in a normal HDD.

To copy release group-based film material, the speed is loose, isn’t it?

So 1. is 68 mb/s not at all so little. Besides, we don’t know what a hard drive you have and what data transfer rates it has.

That sounds quite normal

That’s probably an HDD, right?
Then this is even relatively fixed.

joa, 2.5 inch hdd – for that is super flott. Much more isn’t inside.
