6Gb/s HDD moving files at 10mb/s
Hello, I'm CrazyKilla
Ever since I bought this
*link* HDD I have never had a faster file transfer than about 80mb/s, and that happens rarely. I'm using the new SATA cables and everthing. Is this normal?
I'm considering on getting this
*link* SSHD, would it be much faster than the HDD? Is it worth having multiple pricey SSD's just for the speed?

Check the drive. I see it has jumpers you can set. One of them might be to dictate the speed. Set it so it is 6 Gb/s.
Then, you have two different kinds of ports, 3 Gb/s and 6:
•
SATAII controller integrated in Intel® X79 chipset
- Up to 3Gb/s transfer speed.
- Supports four SATAII ports (SATA3~6) by X79
•
SATAIII controller integrated in Intel® X79 chipset
- Up to 6Gb/s transfer speed.
- Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA1~2) by X79
Attach to one of the III ports.
Then, install latest drivers from MSI's site:
