I have plugged in my Macbook Pro's SATA hard drive into my PC, and downloaded MacDrive in order to access it.
I'm trying to copy about 100GB onto my PC's hard drive which is also SATA, the slowest SATA speed is 1.5Gb/s(192MB/s) right? I know in the real world advertised speeds are never reached.
The folder is currently copying at speeds of 1.6MB/s, and the fastest it's been is 5MB/s. Is the advertised speed really that over exaggerated or is something wrong. ~20 hours is just a little too long for my liking.
Basically I have no idea why it's so slow and how I can make it faster?
Is there some setting I need to change or some driver I need to install (I have just reinstalled Windows 7 and not put any drivers on it that may have come with the PC)
Have you tried with a drive that is using a native OSX filesystem? It could be that the software is just poorly written and is introducing a lot of overhead. – Zoredache – 2011-07-27T23:33:30.940
