Moving Files make Windows7 slow like turtle

I was thinking, and the cheapest way is to buy SATA controller. I google a little and they are supporting ahci :O
Will that be ok ?! will I noticed the boost from ahci ?

Lenmaer:
AHCI won't give you a miracle boost. It's more handy, if you wanna hotswap a HDD without shutting down your PC; like you would do with USB.

But could you post a picture of that?



To see what exactly what your moving speed is. Best to do it with a big file.

sapsa:


Its on beginning 120MB/s
then its 95MB/s
Avg its 95~MB/s
and the end its ~85MB/s

From 1 hdd to another hdd.

Currently I can't test all ways because i lack in disk space ;) waiting for new hdd.

So you telling my that buying SATA Controler for PCI-E x1 wont give me boost much? But thanks to that the NCQ feature will work. From what i readed all my SATA II disks work in IDE emulation mode... Don't mention it my mobo support SATA, not SATA II O_o
So buying SATA Controller for PCI-E x1 would enable SATA II support in my PC, won't that boost it a little ?

Lenmaer:
Well ~85MB/s is a really good transfer rate for SATA 1. The average transfer rate for SATA 2 is 80-120MB/s.
But well I'm not really sure that you'll get a better transfer rate with a SATA 2 PCI card, because everything passes through the mainboard. Best would be to buy a new mainboard, but I assume that this also would mean buying a complete new PC.

sapsa:
yeah - I know, this pc is ok, i can play in sc2 and other new games still on medium-high details :) and thats fine for me. I was just trying to boost hdd transfer a little, but if you say there wont be a big boost and it wont help hdds to live longer thanks to SATA II enabling then i will pass here, and wait 1-2 year to change this pc :)
