Hello, Im wondering if there is an option where I can set the amount of power for a certain operation on my mac, I feel like it may not be utilizing its full capabilities.
Let me give you my situation;
My mac specs are:
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Im currently transferring some files between two partitions, on the same external Hard drive.
(2Tb LaCie drive split in half.)
It is USB 3.0,
and it also has it's own plug in power adaptor in order to work.
Right now, Im transferring the following:
-282.2GB -16 Hrs
-13.76GB -34 Min
-9.05 GB -12 Min
At this moment, With the following operations up above, my CPU status is displayed as seen here:
and my Ram displayed as seen here:
Shouldn't my mac be able to Amp itself Up and rip through this transfer with its CPU capabilities? Or does File transferring have nothing to do with CPU/RAM?
I understand having multiple transfers at once will slow each one down until they stand alone,
But I just assumed my mac would be able to rack up all its power and make the transferring faster.
Could someone please explain?
