Why do you need to transfer files?
Are you making a copy? Or did you try to move the files?
Poor transfer speed like yu describe, where it slows down at the end, may indicate a hardware issue.
Here is a link that might relate to your problem:

He was told that it is normal, then he wrote back:
This is NOT normal! Have had this computor for over 10 years before replacing the first hard drive. First hard drive did the same, I would hear it speed up and stay at that loud speed, got very loud, that's why I replaced it. Friend said the hard drive was going . Never got this loud of sound before, and on graphic games will cause a lot of lag and sometimes freeze up the computer.
Does that sound like your problem?
My suggestion is this; Get an exact replacement for the hard drive and make a 'clone' of the original drive. Then swap out with the new drive. If I am right,that will speed up your hard drive transfer speeds.
I hope this helps. 8)
Here is one of the free programs I like:

The free version is good enough.

Drive could be old, full, fragmented. No details given about drive make, model or percentage full.
-
Also file types...file sizes etc...
-
Move will always be quicker than copy on the same drive.
-
True..but if he wants copies then copy them to a thumb drive...then copy back to the drive would be quicker as well...
-
im moving files not copying. from one partition to other.

You did not make that clear. You just wrote "transfer" which could mean either move or copy.
A friendly suggestion: your big red font is a good way to get NO MORE HELP.
You need to answer these questions (you have been told but failed to respond):
What is the drive make, model and size?
How much free space is left?
Are the files large, small, or mixed sizes?
-
it's 2009 model. free space: 100+gb. Total space 250+ gb. File transferring is big.

What does "big" mean? 1 GB? 10 GB? 100 GB? Why don't you say make and model? Is it the standard disk supplied with the machine?
