performance when copying large files
This has been discussed quite a lot before, but it
continues to interest me. I create a full image backup of my system once a week and an incremental backup each of the next six days. Backups (Acronis) go on a spare HD partition and I then copy them to an external (WD) Passport 2GB drive. Copying the full backup image takes over an hour. What I've noticed, usually, but not every time (!?) is that the transfer gradually slows down. See: https://imgur.com/hESFJq1 While the copy proceeds there is no other activity beyond the usual Windows background stuff running - no apps, browsers, etc. What might account for this? |
