mera kutch nahi ho sakta
20 GB, 7 years old HDD
Model no: Samsung SV2042H
I just noticed something totally out of the blue:
I copied a 24MB .msi file from c: to e: . The copy operation took 2 seconds . I checked the source and destination files, both work.
24mb in 2 seconds = 12mb/sec
Right?
Generally I get write speeds of 1.2MB in my drive! Generally here means am getting low slow speeds for 7 years.
Next I copied a 10mb .exe file from c: to e: , it took 7-8 seconds to copy == 1.2mb/seconds..why?
Lastly I used total copy to accurately see the speeds of all file copying 'tests'
Some tests - files copied from one e drive to cdrive
a) 24 mb .msi file , copied at - 12mb/sec. (My drive seems to like this particular file)
b) 10mb .exe , copied at 1.2 mb
c) 160mb .zip file - The weirdest part.The first half of the file copied @ 12mb/sec but then it slowed to 1.2 mb. I can see this accurately through total copy.
wtf is going on here? Whats my drives actual speed? Why are some files being copied 10x
P.S: The files work after copying @ 12mb, I am not confused between Mb and MB, and I certainly wasn't creating shortcuts.
