did the drive come with an install cd?

if so, then I hope you ran it...it probably enables proper data transfer settings via a driver...

also, what type of system do you have?

are you able to get into the BIOS and specify settings for your USB capability?

if so then one thing to do is to disable legacy usb support, enabling that can many times cause issues....

Thank you ukbobboy01 for all your advice.... will give those external drives with power supply a bash....
I can certainly appreciate the benefits.


Peerless - I really appreciate your reply.... I just don't understand what BIOS Settings and Legacy USB Support means....

In terms of an install cd - what I do know is that my drive didn't come with one.... so I can't do anything in that respect....


With regard to my ridiculously slow speeds and stupid delays - a thought occurred to me....
Could this maybe be something to do with AVG perhaps and not my actual pc?
Limewire and AVG running at once - surely that's gotta make a difference to pc speed and performance....?
