Copying files between laptops

[quackhandle]

Eek's suggestion/link solved it now getting approx 80-100MB/s.

+1 for robocopy I use that alot when moving SQL Backup files between servers, with the correct threading, etc it can really fly.

Cheers.

10MBPS (MegaBYTES per second) or 10Mbps (MegaBITS per second)?

If it's the former then I guess one of the NICs is 100MBps, quite common for older laptops with theoretical maximum speed of around 12MBPS



Even a slow 5400 should have at least 30-50MBPS read/write speed

True, but if both disks are heavily fragmented, copy speed will slow to a crawl. However OP says both disks are SSD, so it's not the disks I would doubt.

You need one of these... HTHBIDI

Proper ethernet port or USB dongle?

(This has got me wondering what I've done with my laptop's USB ethernet dongle).

Also try using Robocpy in cmd instead of the GUI crap, should be builtin even in Win7

Wasn't that what I was doing? Why the slow speed then?

Not sure what you were using, tbh, since it it wasn't mentioned in the OP? If I have misread it, then "my bad", sorry.

Slow disks or are they both SSD?

It's probably the ethernet card driver and settings.

Look at the Disabling “Large Send Offload (LSO)” on Local Area Network : How to fix slow LAN transfer speed of files in Windows and remember to do it on both computers...

Both are SSD.

If you use "Windows Easy Transfer" you can use a USB drive as the destination or copy the files over Ethernet. Give it a go (clue - it's built into Windows).

External hard drive no use?

Copying files from old (win7) to new (win10) via simple cat6 network cable. Was getting speeds of 10MBPS last night! WTF!

Googled around and it is a known issue copying from win7 and something I am going to look at is iperf? Anyone done this? Other ways to make it fast?

TIA
