I just started have issues with a 3.5" Seagate Barracuda 4TB drive I wanted to transfer about 1.2 TB of game data off another internal 3.5" drive when I try the speeds are normal for about 1-2 minutes (80- 125 mbs) the it slows down to 2 mbs sometimes stalling to 0! I tried swapping SATA cables different SATA ports nothing helps!
Then I decided to transfer the data to a USB drive that went fine! So it's not the source drive! Then I tried to transfer the data now on the USB drive to the 4TB barracuda Still in the PC and the same thing happens? I then take that 4TB drive out if the PC and connect it to External USB 3 dock and the data transfers to it fine at 80 to 120 mbs???
So it's not the drives they can sustain the speed on a USB interface but not when in the system on the SATA interface?
I did notice that while in the PC I pulled up the resource monitor and the 4tb is at 100% Even when the transfer drops to almost nothing! I have a new system that's pretty fast a Gigabyte Aurous master with a Gen 9 I7 and 32 gigs of RAM there is a 1 TB WD black NVME m.2 Drive on the MOBO (yes I know it uses a SATA lane )
I did try swapping the SATA cables to different ports to see if it's because it's sharing a M.2 port. I'm at a loss. Could it be because the Seagate Barracuda is a shucked drive?
I didn't have any issues when it was in my old system a EVGA p55 classified Mobo Gen 1 I7 16 gigs of RAM these drives worked fine in that system minus the M.2 drive.
I also lost a DVD and BD drive because my new case doesn't have 5 1/4 slots! So I'm using 2 less SATA devices in this system! Any ideas what's going on? I gave a lot of Information hopefully someone knows what's happening? Is it a Gigabyte thing (drivers?)
