Hello everyone! I recently installed Windows 10 on a separate Hard Drive in my 2008 Mac Pro. I installed Tuxera on my Mac side so I could transfer files easily between the two different OS. So the issue I'm having is this: I put files onto the drive using Tuxera on the Mac side no problem...

So, i have my late 2015 iMac with 1Tb fusion (5K version). Sometimes i've noticed that transferring some files over the lan from my mac were slow. At first, i'm blaming the network setup, cables, etc... but the mac itself. But after running BlackMagic's disk speed test, i've noticed that the...
