10GB in 45 minutes suggests an average of 3.7 mb per second, there's just no way your HDD is that slow unless it is absolutely packed to the brim and fragmented. You should always have plenty of free space (10-20% or so) on the disk and keep the data defragemented.

I got 110 GB of 300 GB on C, 160GB of 250GB on D and 104 of 148 GB on E partition..
It really is slow.. I havent done fragmentation (or however is that written) so i'll do it now 🙂

EDIT: I was just putting something on D partition from C, I needed 11 minutes for 4,68 GB 🙂

defragmentation. Fragmentation happens on hard disks over time as files are written, moved, copied etc, and to avoid degradation in performance the disk must be defragmented from time to time. This doesn't apply to SSD's or other flash memory.

I recommend Defraggler
 
On paper the WD7500AADS should be capable of a maximum of 110mb/s sustained transfer rate, of course in real life you'll see less but not the sort of dramatic drop you experience when transferring to USB. Looks like your USB drive is just really slow.

I just need to upgrade my HDD next.. On windows 7 rating (my computer - properties) its on 4.9..
Transfering 10GB file from HDD to USB goes for 45 minutes.. Its really slow

3.7MB/s'ish sound 'bout right for your average run-of-the-mill USB2 stick. Is that a USB stick or USB HDD?.

Speed can also be affected if you transfer a lot of smaller files. It can be beneficial to zip them before transfer.
 
Lehtv after defragmentation speed went on 50 mb/s, but when I'm sending from C to D partition
When I'm using stick (small stick) its about 15 - 20 mb/s.. So probably its because of stick

Yes, that looks right for disk-to-disk copying. You will only get the maximum sequential speed if you copy from one physical HDD to another physical HDD. When you're copying from partition to partition, you're essentially just moving data around on the same physical HDD. Hence the lower speed... 🙂

That's in the right ball park now. I have similar transfer speeds to my USB 2.0 drive from my SSD
 
1x2 GB and 1x4 GB sounds like you might not be running in dual channel mode. Between that and the low clock speed you wont get as much of a boost from a 7770 as you should.
 
Hi again..
I was at the shop today and the guy told me he have different kind of graphic card and some better PSU, I dont really know much about that so I told him that I will get to him tomorow and tell him what to order.. So couple questions

First this PSU was reccomanded by you guys -
430W, CORSAIR CX Series, CP-9020046

And he told me something about this
450W, XFX Core Edition P1-450S-X2B9, ATX

Then graphic cards

XFX Radeon HD 7770
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770 (recommended)
VTX3D HD 7770
Sapphire Radeon HD 7770
and Asus Radeon HD 7770

First I saw theres different fan.. Then some speed and nothing else..

Ou and yeah, he told me 6850 is also better then 7770 and cheaper..
I really dont know what to do :S
 
Yes I saw its better.. But theres some problems with PSU and sometimes it just wont work.. And its pretty old graphic, so new one have better support, right?
 
Agree, I'd rather have the 7770. Lower power consumption, similar performance.

The XFX 450W has 5 year warranty and somewhat stronger +12V rail... however the +12v regulation could use some improvement, Corsair's is almost certainly better. Either is good for the average user
 
Much less power consumption- sub 3 watts with your monitor off is just astonoshing. It onky needs a pcie 6pin plug because of a meer 5 watts which i think at todays standard it is near to nothing- consider it a just in case plug
 
Okay 7770. 🙂
But which one?
XFX Radeon HD 7770
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770
VTX3D HD 7770
Sapphire Radeon HD 7770
and Asus Radeon HD 7770
 
Sapphire 7770 Vapor-X is pretty awesome. Apart from that one I don't really know anything specific about 7770 models in particular... All I can say is that generally any brand is fine but I would be inclined to avoid smaller and cheaper ones VTX 3D and Powercolor

XFX card's typically aren't the best quality but they're not bad. They have a tradition of cheaping out on cooling or components and compensating with long warranty; but they still work fine
 
SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON HD 7770 GHz Edition OC



Basically, GHz edition, over clocked.. 1150 mhz core clock and 5000 mhz effective.. Probably better then 880 mhz core clock and 4500 effective.. 🙂
