you can try using a programme called teracopy to see if it helps-

TeraCopy for Microsoft Windows - Code Sector

 

[astrokidvaibhav]

Teracopy is useful for sequential file transfers.. And works better with bigger files.. They have a nice set of options like queuing and pause resume etc.. It will be useful no doubt.. But you better test your transfer speed through a software.. What is the transfer speed that you get?

Just try it with different USB ports. If it still under-performs, then the above specified link will come into play.

5-6 MBPs is ok for a kingston drive, read should a bit higher, but write is ok.

Test yourself and compare, the link of the tool is given on that page: USB Flash Drive Speed Tests - VID = 951 (Kingston Technology), PID = 1623

 

[Harsh Pranami]

5.76mbps is average write speed of data traveler 120. USB Flash Drive Speed Tests - VID = 951 (Kingston Technology), PID = 1623

Guys need urgent help!!!

I bought a new sony 16gb USM16GR pendrive and I'm getting write speed of Max 4mbs (tested with both 700, 2gb files)

Does anyone know the actual speed of this pendrive?
Should I ask for an replacement?

 

[gopi_vbboy]

Did you format the pendrive to FAT32? If yes, that might be the culprit.

Always use pen drive in NTFS format for better speeds.

Tried both, NTFS and FAT32, still I get only 4mbs max!!!
The worst is it's a damn new pendrive.

Is it fake??
Pls somebody help me out so that I can ask for replacement or refund.

Anyway, that's way too low even for write, something is wrong with the pan drive, does it have warranty?
