Why is the copying speed of the hard disk very slow?
There is a little friend whose mechanical hard disk used in the computer at home has insufficient capacity, so he spent a huge sum of money to buy a new, larger hard disk online to replace the old hard disk. How to transfer data from old hard drive to new hard drive? Copying and pasting is not realistic, so I chose the method of cloning to migrate data, but found that the speed of hard disk copying is very slow, just like a turtle crawling and ants moving.
What is this scenario? Why is cloning a hard drive so slow? Generally speaking, there are mainly the following reasons:
The amount of data that needs to be migrated is too large.
The USB data cable transfer speed is slow.
Bad sectors appear on the source hard drive.
Computer configuration and performance are relatively low.
The new hard disk has bad sectors or read and write problems.
The cloning tool is less functional.
How to solve the problem that the speed of hard disk cloning is very slow?
For the reasons above, if you think that the slow copying speed of your hard disk is caused by too much data to be transferred, then we recommend that you wait patiently. Generally speaking, the more data that needs to be migrated, the more time it will take longer. During this period, you can consider doing other things to divert your attention, and when you come back to your senses, maybe the clone has been completed.
If the reading and writing speed is slow due to the USB data cable connection, you can replace it with a faster data cable, or connect directly with a SATA cable. In addition, you can also check the CPU and memory usage of the computer in the task manager to determine whether they affect the cloning process.
If there is a bad sector on the hard disk, replace it with a new hard disk in time to avoid damage or loss of your important data. Of course, the simpler solution is to find a professional disk cloning software to migrate data. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
Use a professional disk cloning tool to migrate hard disk data!
If you want to migrate data from the old hard disk to the new hard disk more quickly and safely, you can use professional disk cloning tools to get better results. AOMEI Easy Backup is a very good software. In order to meet the different needs of different users, it provides functions of disk cloning, system cloning and partition cloning. More importantly, if the hard disk you are cloning is a system hard disk, you can also directly clone it from Start the system directly from the new hard disk, move the system, and migrate data easily!
Easy Backup uses Smart Clone mode by default, you need to check the storage space of the source and target disks. Please make sure that the free space in the target disk is greater than or equal to the used disk space in the source disk, otherwise the clone task will fail.
During the cloning process, all data on the target disk will be overwritten. If there is important data, please make a backup in advance to avoid data loss.
Install the Easy Backup download to your computer, then properly connect the new hard drive to the computer and make sure it is detected properly.
1. Open AOMEI Backupper, click "Clone" > "Disk Clone".
2. Select the old hard disk on your computer as the source disk, and click "Next".
3. Select your new hard disk as the target hard disk, and click "Next".
4. If your new hard disk is a solid-state hard disk, you can check the "SSD Alignment" option at the bottom left to optimize its read and write speed, and click "Start Clone" after confirming that it is correct.
hint:
Edit partition: If you feel that the partition layout on the new hard disk is unreasonable, you can use this function to adjust the partition size on the new hard disk to make full use of the disk space.
Sector-to-Sector Clone: If you want to get an exact copy of the source hard disk, you can check this function, it will clone every sector on the source hard disk, whether it is used or not, and it will require the space of the target hard disk Must be greater than or equal to the source hard disk.
in conclusion
With the help of AOMEI Backupper, you can easily and quickly clone data from one hard drive to another without loss. Even if there are bad sectors on the source hard drive, it can automatically skip bad sectors for cloning. Whether you want to clone a hard drive to a small hard drive or a larger hard drive, Easy Backup can meet your needs. You can download and install it and experience it for yourself!
