Source drive Samsung SSD - Destination Drive - Seagate 2TB USB 3.0 external.
I copied 35GB in under 4 minutes. This seems incredibly fast to write to an external drive (especially for what the drive cost).
I just did a Crystalmark Benchmark Test of some 1TB SATA III WD black drives and I'm getting about 83-100MBps write speeds and this is all on the same system - a very nice high end workstation/desktop.
Are the speeds that I experienced normal or is something strange happening here. I was wondering if this has anything to do with reading from an SSD vs reading from a standard drive. It seems that write speeds are almost always slower than read speeds unless the files are severely fragmented or the drive is reading a lot of small files out of sequence. I am talking about large file transfers where source and destination are reading and writing in sequence.
Anyone have any idea why I'm getting these speeds?
