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

TeraCopy for Microsoft Windows - Code Sector
 
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?

BMG ftw!!
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
 
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?

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

Always use pen drive in NTFS format for better speeds.

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