Started out very fast transfering at 150MB/s and now it only transfers files from my pc to the usb at 10MB/s. why did it suddenly become so slow?

this flash drive crashed my pc like a blue screen of death from windows 95 dyas, had to return it. could be defective, other people remark it will not do usb3 or work on such a port and it doing only usb2, try a scan disk to check for errors,

Hello Obi,it's strange, i use to switch between 2 pc's and it doesn't take soo long... Which version of usb are you using to connect the switch? Try to plug at a usb 3.0, and see if becames quicker. Free to ask any question, best regards.

I never used the USB for download to my computer. I just popped the SD card out and put it in my card reader. My laptop has a reader, so I didn't need any separate device. I suspect the card reader is a bit faster for data transfer, but I'm not positive. Either should work.

I think you'll get faster transfers with Gigabit ethernet switch; depending on the write/read speeds, I get even more than 100MB/s via ethernet connection.Also I'm not sure whether one can connect two Macs for file transfer via TB/firewire; I've only tried connecting Macs in this manner for target disk mode and for that it works well.

I have not really looked at the speed all I know is I have transferred 20GB images to it and it only takes about 6mins each time. I will take a look and see what the speed is once I get back to my office. I hope this helps.

It has been some time since I did this, year before last I think. So I don't really remember. As I got into it, it went pretty fast. It will also depend upon the speed of your computer, your software. Another recommendation is to get a external drive to save them onto. Your computer will fill up, get slower the more you do.

My similar drive (5TB) is also equipped for USB 3, but it works great on my 2.0 ports. I assume it could transfer faster on 3.0, but there's no incompatibility.

They claim it is a USB3, I even questioned them about it, but it does not seem to work any faster than a USB2. It does use a USB cable. It is a good drive and is probably limited by its read-write specs.

If your PC has the software installed, you'll access the files much like you would in dropbox, though an internet connected folder on your PC. You must have a fast upload speed where the transported is connected to be worth having. I have 5mbps up and it works alright. 10mbps would be my recommendation. If you "link" a file with the transporter you can view it on the website. I haven't messed around with that too much, but it seems to work.

I wouldn't recommend it for large file transfers. Very slow upload/download.

It is really really slow. I got max 14 MB/s, most of time, it is only 1.4-16MB/s. Very disappointed.

The only time I notice any significant delay is when I move large blocks of files. Normal daily file transfer is fine. I stream movies off of it and use it for my iTunes library and it works like a charm.

I haven't tried connecting via usb port but connected to the router it has been reasonably fast at about 25mb transfer rate.

Mine did increase the speed but not to true USB3 speed. Worth the investment, gives about 1.5 times speed increase.

File transfer is a bit slow. You may want to look into a Thunderbolt drive instead.

If you can, try a different flash drive and/or using the flash drive in another port to make sure it's not the problem. Do as other answers say, check that your connection to the motherboard is good and possibly check drivers. If the flash drive works elsewhere then reformatting it probably wont help, but it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, sounds like a bad unit. I transfer large files all the time with no issue.

I just got one of these to back up the data on my Win8 laptop. It's as slow as MUD. I connected an external hard drive to the SAME USB port, and it was FAR faster. Avoid at all cost.I'd suggest this as the best alternative (get the 64GB for $50 rather than the 32GB for $45): Mushkin Ventura Pro 64 GB Flash Drive. It is USB3 but works very well on USB2 (and it's fast there too). One Xbox 360 user said it works perfectly (read the comments).
