I am trying to transfer a lot of my files to a new hard drive for back-up. It's a lot of data, but the write speeds still seem very very slow. (1.25MB/second and max of 5.66MB/second).

I am using Windows 7x64, and the 2 hard drives are a 1TB in size.


Is there a setting that I can configure on Windows 7? Or what would be a way to get these files to transfer a lot quicker. Whether I copy a 6GB or 200GB file, it still writes at the speeds above.

What can I do?
