When storage unit (500gig) was new, this did the copying very fast!

No that isn't what I am saying. I am saying that it slows down when the memory (RAM) gets hot (as Dell said) it shifts what normally would be in memory to a temporary location on your C: drive (internal). The computer can read data from the RAM 10 times faster than it can from a hard drive. That is the reason for the slowdown. A larger C: drive would not help. More memory might help, but I think the cooling fans would help more.

This has nothing to do with the external drive/storage unit. Not that it wouldn't hurt to defragment that storage unit sometime soon. That would speed up retrieval of song information when you play them.
