Now that my malware and Windows woes pretty much have been put to rest here at two other forums, I have but one question left:
What could be the culprit that limits the throughput on my four external hard disks, all connected through one and the same Dynex powered 7-port USB 2.0 hub, to a rather paltry 12 MB/sec, as reported both by PC PitStop and by HD Tune? I never paid much attention to it before, so I can't even tell if it used to be higher or not. But when I had to perform a restore / system rebuild about a year or two ago, the transfer of approx. 100 GB over this connection took a whopping 18 hours, which seems more in line with the old HiSpeed USB specification rather than the theoretical throughput on a USB 2.0 connected device.
A recent PC PitStop report is available here.
Any thoughts?
