I am copying a folder (320 items, 1.9GB) on an SSD to a different location on the same SSD and getting a transfer rate of 5MB/s.
Is this to be expected? Simultaneous reading and writing to the same drive will slow things down, but still - I would guess this rate is slow.
I get these values from HDTune benchmark:
(Read)
Transfer rate: min=12.6 avg=16.4 max=16.8 MB/s
Access time: .300ms
Burst rate: 17.9MB/s
How full is the drive? – boehj – 2011-05-20T13:29:47.453
What SSD is it? Also, for context, what sort of transfer speeds to you get copying the same folder to/from a different drive (if you have another drive)? – sblair – 2011-05-20T13:44:33.887
It is very full: 6GB free of a 128GB drive. – mackenir – 2011-05-20T13:45:16.183
I don't have another internal drive. the SSD shows up as "Samsung SSD RBX Series 128GB M ATA Device" in device manager. – mackenir – 2011-05-20T13:50:49.130
Not exactly the fastest according to this http://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/hdd_lookup.php?cpu=SAMSUNG+SSD+RBX+Series+128GB+M
