Hello,
I just set up 1T seagate external USB drive. I'm trying to copy 223 gB of data over to it. I dragged and dropped the folder on to the new drive. However it says it will take over 30 hours to copy. The drive has a red light that indicates when its writing. The red light will flash for about five seconds, and then go dormant for a few minutes, then flash for five seconds again. In other words, it seem to be writing the files VERY intermittently. I don't have any other applications running so I'm not sure why it's behaving this way.
Any advice?
