Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I seem to have 2 issues with my new laptop.
Issue #1 - Slow Copy Rate to external hard drives:
I have a large music collection. When copying the entire collection to a backup drive (external), the copy rate is slow. It sometimes slows to 0kb/s. Yet at times it will speed up to 90mb/s.
Issue #2 – Frequent stuttering when playing music:
When just playing songs, every 3 or 4 songs there will be a split second of silence during song play. (Stuttering, similar to buffering but the music is from the hard drive and not played from the internet.) This is super annoying.
Machine Specifications are: Lenova Ideapad L3 15ITL6 with processor: 64bit, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz with 20GB Ram
I have scanned all drives for errors. No errors found. I have defragmented and optimized all drives (I do this once per week.)
Lenova internal diagnostics tool indicates the following whilst copying:
Processor performance varies between 14%-50% (Not sure why this is low?)
Memory performance indicated 7GB of 20GB used (Why not all of the memory?)
This machine is reasonably new (6 months). I am not sure about guarantee issues, as I bought it new in South Africa (where I registered my purchase with Lenova), but I have since migrated to Australia. I do not know if Lenova Australia will honour the guarantee on my purchase.
