Why does my External SSD performance seem slow?

For USB connected drives:

• To help avoid this problem, make sure other USB devices are not being used at the same time as the External SSD. Other devices that can affect performance include digital cameras, scanners, printers and other high-speed peripherals that process large amounts of data.
• Connect the Integral External SSD directly to the computer's USB ports and not through a hub or extension cable.

NOTE: The drive will perform slower when connected to a standard USB 1.1 port. The drive will not reach the maximum transfer rate unless it is connected to a USB 2.0 port.

For Firewire and eSATA connected drives:

• Connect the data cable directly to the port on the computer. Do not plug the drive's data cable into a hub or extension cable. If drive performance still seems slow, please contact us by emailing support@integral-storage.com
