Re: Issues while transfering files from F HDD to D

Thanks.

No available extra SATA PORT to use, this is a really cheap mini pc I bought to emulate PS2 until it breaks.

16 GB RAM, I'll do this swap process alone, meaning I'm not playing nor doing anything else.

I left about 40-45 GB free space in each storage/partition and I only transfer a few gb at a time, like 8 or 10.

Sounds like it might be a SATA controller issue. Have you tried connecting the hard disk to a different SATA port on the motherboard? You might be able to find a port/drive combination that works.

How much RAM do you have? Is your swap file on the C partition like the OS? Do you have enough free space on that partition for the swap file? When you transfer large files from an SSD to a mechanical hard disk, your PC will cache some of the data in RAM first, and if the RAM is full it will switch to the swap file for caching. If it doesn't have enough space in either of those, your computer can freeze or crash as a result. Make sure you have enough RAM and swap space to handle large file transfers between drives.
