Hi, this is to do with Windows 7 64bit SP (fully patched).
It concerns two computers, one is an HP Laptop and the other a desktop I built myself. Both automatically check for, and provide updates when available.
The desktop has an AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2~3.8GHz with 8GB of Corsair DDR3 1333, and 2x 1TB 7200rpm SATA drives.
The laptop has an AMD Athlon II x2 M320 2.1GHz with 3GB of DDR2 RAM. It has a 250GB 7200rpm SATA HDD.
Transferring files and folders from USB2 memory sticks seems slow in comparison to XP Pro SP3, but I have heard that is not an uncommon complaint regarding Windows 7 and Vista on a variety of hardware platforms.
What is puzzling me is that I transfer files from USB 2 memory sticks and get the following results:
Laptop: 3760MB in 480sec = 7.83MB/sec
Desktop: 7270MB in 1920sec = 3.79MB/sec
I have tried both USB sticks on the desktop and the transfer rate seems pretty much the same.
Remote Differential Compression is disabled on both machines.
:confused:
Any ideas folks?
