Hello, I am using Hackintosh high sierra. during the last few days, I am facing an issue regarding copy and paste. Whenever I am copying and paste data to one hard drive to another, Speed is getting too slow. I don't know why. This is happening with every drive. Last few days I am facing this issue. sometimes 15 GB file paste took time more than 2 hrs. My Hackintosh spaces:
Motherboard: GAZ 170MD3H
CPU: Intel i5 6600K
Ram: 16GB , ( profile 1 selected )
GPU: Radeon 580 8 GB DDR5
High sierra installed in WD m2 512 SSD
I have all drives 7200 rpm.

NEED HELP ASAP..

Please, anybody, revert this..
 
@debab2013,

It could be that MacOs Spotlight is indexing the drives on the fly as you move data to them, slowing down the copy paste function. Try adding all volumes to System Prefs -> Spotlight -> Privacy except your system drive.

Also you need to be aware that APFS has terrible performance with Spinning Rust Hard Drives, so you will most likely see slower performance with your APFS volume compared to the HFS+ volumes. Theres nothing you can do about it, APFS is optimised for SSD's rather than spinning rust.

Cheers
Jay
