Greets,
I am hoping someone here can assist me with the extremely slow transfer
speeds I am getting with two firewire external drives.
I have one Lacie 250mb and one Maxtor (brand new) 300gb drive. When I
transfer files, by way of copy or move within WINXP Home, it takes close to a
half hour for about 2 gigs of data to transfer.
I can write to either of the drives quite easily and fast. Also, I had them
both directly plugged into my firewire card and then daisy chained them and
the speeds were agonizingly slow both ways.
Oddly enough, through my laptop, with a card reader for my compact flash
cards, I can write to either drive through my network, and it will take about
four minutes for 2 gigs of data to transfer.
Is there some setting I need to correct to allow the firewire drive to
firewire drive transfers to be as fast as the internal to firewire?
Thank you.
