why does my external hard drive freezes for a few seconds while files are being copied to the hard drive?

So I just got my Seagate usb 3.0 Go Flex Ultra Portable 1tb ext. hdd. I partition it as 750gb as NTFS and as the BACKUP while the remaining is a FAT32 for files like music and for my ps3 stuff. After that I tried copying files from my computer to the ext hdd, and I notice that it freezes time to time when it gets to a higher transfer rate (60-80mb/s) then it'll pause for a few seconds sometimes longer then the transfer rate goes down by 40mb/s and again goes up until it freezes again. Then i tried tranferring the same file to my FAT32 partition, and everything seems to be more consistent.. no pauses and whatsoever. I don't know what the deal is, and I'm actually really frustrated right now cuz I would not like to give it back to Seagate if it wasn't a Hdd failure or worst.

Then I reformatted it to a whole 1tb NTFS hdd, and I still get the same problem I have when I partitioned the hdd. Also I'm concerned why does my average transfer rate is around 55-60mb/s when it was said to be around 65-70mb/s? And yes I am connected to a ss 3.0 usb plug and also using the ss 3.0 connector that is included with the product.
My hdd is a Seageate Barracuda 1tb 7200rpm and has been defragged on Monday.
Like I said, I was transferring the same file to my FAT32 partition, it was consistent and no stop.
Also I have a regular ext. hard drive 5400rpm, Western digital case but a different hard drive and I tried copying the same file to that hdd and also had a constant rate.. no freeze/pauses.



Answer
It's trying to write files, faster than it can read the originals. Your main HD, may need to be defragged.

name some latest technologies used in computers?

Answer
1- Intel's Core Processor Line

Intel has struggled with its Pentium 4 architecture for years. AMD gained the performance advantage because of the long pipeline of the Pentium 4 restricting its performance and clock increases. Enter the new Core architecture. The new design is a radical departure from the Pentium 4 line and had more in common with the Pentium M. The new design provides amazing performance in a small die size that also has the added benefit of using less power and producing less heat than the older processors. This has allowed Intel to once again recapture its lead in the computer processor field.

2- Apple's Boot Camp
The computer industry is all about choices but for many that meant only running Microsoft Windows. Apple's Macintosh product line has been around for years, but consumers could have difficulty using it when their work or school might be using Windows. When Apple released the new Intel based Mac product lines, it was only a matter of time before they were made to run Windows. After that was broken, Apple released its Boot Camp beta to the public to make it easy to run both Windows and Mac OS X on any of the new Intel Macs. Now consumers have the option of using both operating systems from a single computer!

3) Perpendicular Hard Drives
Perpendicular does not refer to the orientation of the drive physically within the PC but to the orientation of the magnetic fields on the hard drive platters. This simple rotation of the magnetic fields allowed for a dramatic increase in the capacity of the hard drive sizes. While last year hard drives were topping out around 400GB in size, Seagate was able to introduce the new technology into its desktop drives and push 750GB into a single desktop drive. This technology is also benefiting notebook and portable electronics that use hard drives.

4) NVIDIA GeForce 8800

The GeForce 8000 series graphics processors are a major step forward in graphics in two ways. The most obvious is that they are the first graphics cards to support the Direct X 10 graphics engine in Vista, allowing fully native graphics for Vista's Aero interface. The lesser known is the change in the graphics processor architecture away from specialized processor to a series of unified processors that can be dynamically be assigned to geometry, vertex, physics or pixel operations. This gamble in design change paid off with some outstanding graphics performance even with Direct X 9 and OpenGL graphics.

RoHS Directive
Consumers in the US are probably not familiar with this law that affects Europe, but it does impact the computer industry as a whole. Computers have been notorious for using toxic metals and hazardous chemicals in their production. All this these materials end up in the environment when they are thrown away. This law puts caps on the amount of materials that can be found in all new electronics sold in Europe. The good news is that many of those goods are also sold in the US providing us with greener products as well.
