Hi,
I have a 1.5TB Iomega Prestige Desktop Hard Drive, the max transfer speed it gets up to is 35MB/second but sometimes a lot lower, so when I play videos off this external hard drive they lag. I have a Dell XPS M1530 which has USB 2.0 which this drive supports, any ideas on the slow transfer speed? My system specs are below:
