Slow Transfer Rate in USB 2.0 port


Recommended Posts

I have a Western Digital 250GB USB 2.0 external HDD...

When i connected it in the back USB port of my system,I am getting transfer Rate of 12 MBPS...

But When i connected it in my friends System i got Transfer rate of 36 MBPS...

What could be the problem with my sytem...??

My configuration is

Intel Dual Core 2.8 Ghz

Intel D102GGC2 Mobo

1 GB DDR-2 533 Mhz

12 MBS - sounds like the max speed for USB 1.1. If you are running Win XP I believe that usb 2.0 hispeed only comes with XP sp1 or higher.

If you are running original XP you might want to download a service pack.

Also here is a screenshot of my system's Device manager

In addition to what DigeratiPrime said, before taking the screenshot, could you please do two things:

1. From the view menu select (check) Show hidden devices.

2. From the view menu select (check) Devices by connection and then find (navigate through the tree, expand nodes, until you come to) your device (the WD HDD).

That would explain a lot more.

In any case, you'd want to plug it in different USB ports on your computer until it's connected to Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller in one way or another (through a hub probably, but that isn't important).
