Dear All.
I have a WD Black Series WD5000BPKX 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA HDD working in my laptop (Acer Aspire 7738G with Core 2 Duo P7450 and Windows 7 Ultimate). Recently I had to copy large files on this HDD. It turned out that if I start to play a video while copying, it speeds up the process with about 33%. E.g. copying a 15 GB file from my laptop to an external HDD (USB 2.0) takes 12 minutes normally, but playing a video shortens it up to 9 minutes. Can you please advise what can be behind this?
Thank you,
Tony
