Vista max copy speed of 15 MB/s?

Basically, I can't get my copy speed to be higher than 15 MB/s. Here are some things I have tried:

- The default Vista copy service varies from 9-12 MB/s, and Teracopy has a copy speed of exactly 10 MB/s, continuously.
- Remote Differential Compression and Search Indexing are both disabled.
- I have two drives. One is brand new and the other I defragged today.
- Both drives have been Error Checked yesterday, and neither had any errors.

I've really run out of things I can think of that could fix it. Can anyone help me? I just bought a fast hard drive, and this is a joke.:confused:

Hi Erithrius

Welcome to vistax64 Forum.
One of the causes which may delay copy, is hardware that is connected to the PC.
If so, then you have to disconnect as much hardware as you can during copy.

Did you go to device manager and set the properties, policies,for the drive

    Weakest part of my computer is the graphics chipset.
    Only ever used a laptop.
    Also use USB Freeview TV Card

    External Speakers
    Other bits a pieces as needed
Additional things I tried:

- I have set the cache writing policies in the drive manager, made no difference.
- turned off Autotuning, and I thought that fixed it, but now I tried copying over network again and it gives me the same arbitrary limit of 10 MB/s.
-the only hardware I can realistically disconnect is my printer, headphones and speakers. Do you really think that would make a difference?
EDIT: turning off Autotuning quadrupled my copying speed from hard drive C to hard drive D and vice versa, but it had no effect on network copying.

Thank you again for helping me, and let me know if you have any more suggestions I can try.

I can not say for sure, but to set an example :
If I write an image of my hard disk with all the hardware connected,
I have about 30 mbps, if I disconnect all hardware (which is not much), I have 85 mbps (XP on an HP laptop).
Same story on Vista (Acer Aspire 5738G) hardware connected: 120 mbps, hardware disconnected: 180mbps.
Of course there may be other causes for the slow copying.
Perhaps more skilled members of this Forum can help you with this problem.
I recommend to wait for other opinions,
as we have several great members here on this forum who probably can help you to determine the culprit.

Kind regards
Sweet

Hi welcome, re: network copy.
I may be on the wrong track here? But let's see/

Your network speeds are limit of 10MB/s!
As I understand it the gigabit network only runs at a theoretical 100/125 MBytes/sec.
What are your download & upload speeds through your router/modem?
What is the ISP connection set for? Is it set for a maximum of ?
Could these have a bearing on your problem/
These are merely ideas, I was looking at different possibilities for slow copy.

Hope this may help.
Thank you.

The download speeds from the internet are different from those when copying over a network, apart from that excellent advice!

All I see for technical info in Home Premium. Can you give some info on network interface, speed and drive types speed? Everyone seems to be assuming Gb network but I didn't see where it's specified.
