Slow data transfer rate

Jan 28, 2008

- Ok we are down to what type of drive is you primary. Is it an IDE or a serial ATA SATA? Your comparing your system to another & that other may very well have a faster drive than you. Your board does support the SATA I & SATAII hard drives. SATAII can run up to 3.0GB transfer rate but only when other componets fully support the drive. These other componets include updated chipset. Take my current Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe dual core Skt 939. Transfer of 711Mb took 12 seconds My four drives are SATA II's with updates to board chipset, audio, PCI devices.
I used a program called Driver Detective to get these devices updated. It was worth the $30.00 buying the program. Biggest reason was my SATA's did not transfer as fast as they should have. Asus does not list these updates. (They should)! So check your drive's and see just what type you have & what the Mfg says the transfer rate should be.
I hope this helps you.
