Copyng files to external ends with them corrupt

Topdod · 6 Jun 2018 at 16:51

I've been having problems trying to copy files from any of the 2 HDDs and 1 SSD to my external where a file would somehow be corrupted(I assume) and is not a 100% copy.
I've noticed that the larger the file is the higher the chances of the files being broken are, like a 10GB file took me 20 or so attempts until it copied the file properly.
I know it's not the external at fault as I tested with an SD card too and still got the same results and I have also tried using TeraCopy too but that also had corruption.

Windows 7 64
MSI Gaming 5 Z97
i5 4690K
MSI 480
2 sticks of 4GB ram
2 HDDs & 1 SSD

Is the system overclocked? If it is have you tried it back at stock?

No overclocking.

Are you using the same usb lead each time?

Only got the one lead but I got my brother to try the external and files transferred fine so it has to be something with my system.
I've also tried using most of the USB ports on the front and back and there's still no difference.

update usb drivers?

or roll back.

I think updating USB drivers might have fixed it unless I got really lucky and the file transferred over fine just this once.
