greybeard Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Is there a fix to make files transfer faster from a hard drive to an external hard drive. I have a fast computer with 2 gigs ram and the external drive is a new 500 gig usb 2.0 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running Vista Business and ran the correct 32bit hotfix... Hmm.. the hotfix has had over twenty thousand hits from here and looking around the net knowone else has had that problem. I wish I could be of more help, google spits nothing out on that error and I don`t have vista installed yet. Waiting on a spare HD to arrive.

That's why it said it doesn't apply to my system. But my transfers are still excruciatingly slow. I've uninstalled the hotfix and reinstalled with no improvement...

nat32support Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 A few notes on Vista File Transfer performance: 1. The 931770 hotfix improves performance somewhat. 2. Disabling IPv6 gives additional improvement. 3. When transferring large folders containing many files, Vista wastes much time calculating the transfer time remaining. But once the actual transfer gets going, I get rates of around 30 Mbps on a 100 Mbps LAN after disabling IPv6 and with the 931770 hotfix installed. 4. File transfer times also depend on the file types being transferred. For example, I found that when transferring avi files, Vista wastes time generating preview icons and ratings if the target directory is currently visible in Explorer. 5. A better way to transfer files is to mount the remote drive and then use an xcopy command in a Windows Console. 6. But the best performance by far was achieved when using an FTP client and server. I got rates of 85 Mbps over a 100 Mbps LAN. Tests were done between a Vista Home Premium machine and a W2000 Server via 100 Mbps Ethernet.

sMaX Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I 've got the same problem. Transferring files to internal sata disk or to external usb and firewire disks. It 's just pathetic. Vista is the most retarded OS ever made. This is the year 2007 and transferring a 700mb file takes about 15 minutes. Seriously, downloading it from the internet is sometimes just as fast. Now the hotfix is for transfers over network. The icing on this shitcake is that you have to call tech support. Paying this amount of money for an ultimate edition of crap, they should come bring it to your doorstep and then install it for you whilst giving you a thai massage. I hope next time the Boeiing lands face down into Redmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacher Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I have installed this patch today. I disabled the rdc feature and I disabled the ipv6 stack, but moving 11k files (3gb) to a NAS is still terribly slow and the taskmanager network monitor shows no traffic at all or only 0,09% in my 1 GB network.
