    [SOLVED] Copying to new SATA is too slow

    So seeing copy Speed of 0 bytes/s and taskmanager of 0% disk activity is what you would expect? Oh yeah, should also mention the file name it's copying is DSF8505.jpg and has been for a long time (> 10 minutes). Something is clearly not working right.
