A few months ago, I purchased WD 2 TB hard drive. For a month, its transfer rate was about 120 MB/s, now when I try to transfer files, its transferring rate is only 46 MB/s. I think it’s a big drop. I normally transfer 100 GB data daily and I think this speed (46 MB/s) doesn’t fulfill my need. What could be the reason behind my 2 TB external hard drive storage USB 3.0 has very slow transfer rate?2TB External Hard Drive Storage USB 3.0 Very Slow Transfer rate

 

Well, your external hard drive’s speed may decreased due to numerous reasons, however, read the following directives to get rid of the given problem.

  • Your files are still on the drive, which are marked as free space; while the Operating System writes the space which is free.
  • Make use of a third party software application to completely erase the deleted data.
  • To securely erase your data from the free space, you will need software like Disk Doctors file shredder.
  • The software program posses’ hierarchal approach to find a file and wipe it.
  • It securely shred deleted data and leaving no traces of your sensitive data.

Thanks for your help. I was able to successfully restore many critical files from a corrupted hard disk. Your product saved me a great deal of time and trouble. Thank Your Very Much!

I wanted to extend my ultimate gratitude and thanks to you and your team. Not only did your company recover the data quickly and at half the price of other companies, everything was recovered and our office is back on track after the NAS failure. I really appreciate a company doing its business so well as Disk Doctors did; and will definitely sing your praises for all to hear. Excellent customer service all around. Thank you again!

Many special thanks for your support in getting my drive issues handled. I am able to access all the files that were recovered. You guys are great!

I thought I was missing a folder until I realized I was searching under the wrong folder name.
I am happy! We are good and all is well!

Thank you.

What do you do when a power surge destroys your hard drive and you loose hundreds of hours of work, irreplaceable images, and your ability to complete jobs for clients with looming deadlines?  My first instinct was to cry, then scream.  My IT manager tried and failed to recover my data and recommended that I try a disaster recovery service. We went on line and called several companies, and when we reached the Disk Doctors, we knew we had found a company that could help us.  I delivered my toasted hard drive to their Vancouver location late in the afternoon and by 6:30 am the following morning a representative had emailed me with a reassuring message and time line for the work.  The following Friday I received one of the happiest calls of my life. My data had been completely recovered.  I cried and screamed again, this time with joy!  Over the last two days I have been thrilled, delighted, relieved, overjoyed and reassured by the fact that ALL MY DATA is once again accessible. Disk Doctors are now on my top-persons list and I am telling all of my colleagues about their services!!!

Thank you!

My hard drive crashed leaving me without my critical financial information and research that is crucial to my business. After checking various vendors on the Internet, I chose Disk Doctor Labs because of their level of service, and they far exceeded my expectations. Aziz Mirza, the manager of Disk Doctor Labs in Norcross, GA, personally took charge of my account, quickly fixed the problems and returned my restored files within a week on a hard drive that I could return for an account credit. Throughout the process, Disk Doctor Labs kept me informed, responded quickly to my calls and delivered my lost files quickly, efficiently and at an extremely fair price. I recommend them unequivocally.

Thank you!
