Hi !,
Yesterday I purchased a Kingston DT102 / 4Gb pendrive. On use, the data transfer speeds I'm getting are:

Read: 21Mbps (average)
Write: 5Mbps (average)

I'm not able to understand why the write speed of the drive is so slow. A friend of mine who had recently purchased a drive of the same make & size, is experiencing the same problem.

Please help me regarding further action.

What is your own read and write speed in characters per minute :)
Read and write speeds are written on every pen drive packing/manual. and read speed is always higher than write speed.

The readings I posted are the ones I'm getting on doing transfers on my system as well as a laptop of a friend of mine.

I posted this as a problem because the write speeds I'm getting are way too low. I mean it's about 12-15 Mbps avg.

Should I go in for a check at the Kingston service center ?

Instead check on their website for specs First !!

Speed depends on the size of the files you transfer - if you transfer small files of 1mb it will be too slow - whereas if you transfer 200mb it will be faster.
