| 1369646 | 2014-03-06 21:00:00 | I transfer a lot of data between internal hard drives and its becoming a bit of a pain What should I look for to get the best speeds when I buy a new motherboard or hard drives or sata cables ? |

Buy fast HDD's and use SATA2 if possible but mechanical hdd's don't come close to maxing out a sata connection even at 1.5gb/s - they may burst over that occasionally but sustained transfer rates are much lower. what type of drives and interfaces are you using now? and why not put the data on the right drive to begin with :p |

| 1369648 | 2014-03-06 21:06:00 | You would be looking for a Thunderbolt drive (www.intel.com) which has transfer performance with bi-directional 10 Gbps speed Apple uses it on their new Mac Pro I understand USB 3.0 is pretty fast as well. BTW, what sort of data files are you dealing with that are that large? |

Won't make a difference in this situation. Plus he said "internal"... |

| 1369651 | 2014-03-06 23:01:00 | SATA 6 is the latest version @ 6gb/s or throughput of up to 600MB/s...as long as your disks can keep up..... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1369652 | 2014-03-07 02:03:00 | It doesnt matter if its USB3, thunderbolt, Sata-ver666, NAS, hard drives are SLOW. You will NEVER get a faster speed than the actual transfer rate of the drive itself : ie its bugger all really. If you want faster transfer speed, buy new HD's. Fast ones. It will still be slow (all relative of course) |

| 1369654 | 2014-03-07 02:35:00 | Combine like 4 rotary HDDs :confused: :D My SATA2 and SATA3 drives even with speed tests copying one large video from one HD to the other have never broke the SATA1 speed barrier apart from "peak" moments. |

Stupid question, but you're not copying from partition to partition on the same drive are you? That will always be slow... |
