Wondering if anyone might have any idea why copying between these two drives has decided to slow down so much. It was fine earlier in the day then it decided to slow down a lot. I could only get it to go as fast at the beginning of the screenshot by completely turning of the pc for half an hour. Its Windows 11, internal drive to external drive.

Copy can slowdown due to copy buffer being filled and drives not fast enough to write from there.
Internal vs external doesn't say much.
Are both HDD or SSD or a combination?
The external drive is USB 2 or USB 3?
If HDD, are they fragmented?
Have you run a defrag retrim on SSD?
Have you enabled Windows write cache for both devices (and disabled buffer flushing if you have a UPS/battery)?
For external drives the options are Quick Removal (slower) and Better Performance (faster but you must use the USB icon to eject the device or risk losing files).
