Ok I have a couple external HDD that I put into my home made media server. One is a 3tb seagate external HDD and for some reason when I have it connected by the USB adapter it has transfer rates of 25mb/s or more. However when its connected directly to the motherboard like all my other HDD I only get about 15-24 kb/s. As you can guess this is a problem because it just took me 3 days to transfer a folder that should have taken a couple of minutes. I have tried looking in forums all over but have not found anything that could explain this. If anyone has an idea as to how I could fix this or why this is I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time.
