Transfer Speed: Hi I am getting a transfer speed about 9 mbs ps, its probably the cable that I am using?

what is 9 mbs? megabytes? megabits? let me know which and I maybe able to help

I never looked it up but I would say its the data transfer rate on and off the drive.

If its sata, it will work. Data speed transfer doesn't isnt't dependent on the cable you use.

In theory, yes. But USB 1 is 40 times slower than USB 2 in max throughput. So it will take days to complete the transfer.

I'm transfering files at 90~95 mps in a 100 mbps network (from pc to nas) and 80~85 mbps backwards.Hope the info help you.Check out your network

I think you'll get faster transfers with Gigabit ethernet switch; depending on the write/read speeds, I get even more than 100MB/s via ethernet connection.Also I'm not sure whether one can connect two Macs for file transfer via TB/firewire; I've only tried connecting Macs in this manner for target disk mode and for that it works well.

Sounds like a USB 2.0 speed. I get that same score on my USB 2.0 port on my Dell Monitor. When I use my Sony All in One USB 3.0 I get very fast speeds that copy 4 HD movies to a 32gb drive in about 4 minutes. It used to take 70 minutes.

No. The motherboard header you are plugging into is USB 2.0 then that will cap you transfer speed.

Yes. And transfer rate is fast if the other drive is also 3.0. If not then it will be limited to the transfer speed of the drive

I guess it not means the size of the HD, but it has a limit size of transfer, if the file is 200gbs it cant be transfer, the max size of the files that can be transfer is 160 gb, no metter if the HD is 4 Tb. You can transfer all files u want but the files cant be bigger that 160 gb.so le read again: [it will transfer files] "Up to 480 Mbps data transfer rates,[but those files that can be transfer at that speed had a size limit:] 160GB capacity max" Thats is what I understand.

You would need a laptop or other device in conjunction. Transfer speeds are very fast.

how to avoid computer bottlenecks? i am not sure what that means. if you want to verify the speed then you need a speed test software. but just test it with a usb 3.0 flash drive. you must use the supplied usb cable for additional power to the card. mine transfers really fast when compared to a usb 2.0 and 2.0 flash drive.

The Ethernet port is Gigabit speed. A lot of it depends on the drives you buy and what type of Raid you use (If you use it). I bought Western Digital 2GB Red drives, the ones designed for NAS systems. I am using Synology's Hybrid Raid. I don't remember the exact numbers, but when copying my personal files from my computer, I was getting about 110MB transfer rates. That's almost 900Mb/s. It is the first time I ever ever come close to approaching the Gigabit capabilities of my network. Even if what was being reported wasn't 100% accurate, let's just say it was really fast.

No, this probably isn't what you're looking for. Only one side of the cable can transfer data, and the other is for power only.

If you are using an older machine that does not have USB 3.0 support the slower transfer rate can cause an issues such as this and there is no fix. If you are using a USB 3.0 port make sure your motherboard drivers and bois settings are up to date. After trying all this if the drive continues not to perform to your expectations I would exchange it for a different one.

the data transfer rate is pretty slow... a 1.5gb file takes several minutes to transfer... 44gb would take about 30-45 minutes.

Theoretically, USB 3.0 should smoke Firewire. You may be running USB 2.0 and not realize due to drivers not installed or any number of reasons. In particular, are you sure the port you are using is actually a 3.0 port? Connected via a working 3.0 the transfer bottleneck is literally the drive itself, not the connection.
