Could someone please provide transfer rate of this hard disk with USB 3.0 interface while reading and writing large files, like big video clips.

I got 60+ Mb/sec when transferring huge files to the WD Passport 2Tb drive with USB 3.0

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try on USB 3.0, but, I know it's faster compared to my other WD Passport 2.0.

You bet! USB 3.0 supports exponentially faster transfer rates, but it's also backwards compatible to work with 2.0 device connections.

No hard-drive actually transfers at 5GB/s, nor does any USB 3.0 port. These are just theoretical maximums. What you should expect is around 60MB/s transfer, maybe up to 80MB/s. This device also doesn't have the potential for 5GB/s; It's not attached to a PCIe in the laptop that can do it even under theoretical situations. It IS faster than 2.0, but don't expect SATA III speeds. In addition, this card does not independently provide enough electricity to run 2 external hard drives, which is why it has that little port in the center. If you're running two "high drain" devices from them, you plug that cord into one of your USB 2.0 ports and it'll provide extra power. Hope this helps, but if you're looking for super high speeds like 5GB/s, then you need to read up on "theoretical versus actual USB 3.0 speeds".

Of course. USB 2.0 will never match 3.0 speed. When the drive worked read on 3 was at least 4 times faster

I don't have the 32gb, I have the 64gb drive. I don't have specific speeds, but this guy is really fast when paired with a 3.0 USB. I've saved very large AutoCAD and Photoshop files on it and it writes very quickly.

i din not really know the write speed but it is faster than circular seek swite disk. i am happy with it.

This is Amazon, buddy. If you want info that detailed, google a site that reviews flash drives. I will say that this drive is insanely fast transfering large video files (175mb to several GB's) compared to every other drive I've tried, including: HP v125 USB Flash Drive P-FD4GBHP125-AZ SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash Drive SDCZ36-004G Kingston Digital USB 2.0 Hi-speed Datatraveler Flash Drive DT101G2/4GBZ All of these drives would write at a sustained 3.2 MB/s which was painfully slow and this Patriot drive does 17.5 MB/s. It's over 5x faster.

USB 3 is faster than FireWire. I use the drive for Pro Tools audio recording and it has never given me any problems.

If you think you will actually get that transfer rate you will be very disappointed. I transfer a lot of media such as videos & music so I am basing my answer on my own experience. USB 2.0 averaged 30 mbps. With my probox 4 bay I moved up to around 120 mbps on both Esata & USB 3.0. I think the Esata gave me a higher more consistent average at about 120 mbps. I run my proboxs on both W7 & W8.1. Windows 8.1 runs the fastest but my probox will drop out and I will have to hit continue once the drives restart when I move large files. I try to keep my blocks smaller with W8.1 w/I7 processor, basic on board video & W7 w/ I7 processor and 2GB video card never drops out. They both start out on the high end and then slow to around 90 to 120 mbps on larger transfers. I have an 8 bay probox that gives me the same rates even when I transfer media from 2 drives within the boxes. My hard drives are Seagate 3 TB rated at 6GBS. I have a few 2TB rated the same but I have never gotten the rated transfer speed. It takes me about 2-3 minutes to move a 5GB movie. It is a whole lot faster than USB 2.0 is all I can say.

These drives are kind of strange. It transfers off the drive at high speed (~20 MByte/sec) but only writes at ~2 MByte. So I think it's USB 2.0 but the internal flash management chip on the drive must be pretty inefficient so it can't keep up with the comm. speed when it's doing write operations. Delete operations are also really slow.So overall I probably wouldn't recommend this product. I got them because they were cheap and I don't need high performance for what I'm using them for.

I've plugged it into USB2.0 port to save a drive on an older box, and it works fine. Somewhat slower than USB3.0, as you would expect.

I transfer a lot of large files (video and database files in the multi gb range) and I experience much faster transfer times with this drive and 3.0 drives in general. I'd estimate 5 times the speed, maybe more, without actually using a stopwatch.

Leef Surge USB 2.0 64 Write - up to 15 MB/s; Read - up to 28 MB/s. Thank you

Yeah but your better off getting a larger hard drive because of the amount of files you're trying to transfer. This USB is only 16-32 gb of memory and I'm pretty sure you're gonna want to move a lot more files than that.

Sounds like a USB 2.0 speed. I get that same score on my USB 2.0 port on my Dell Monitor. When I use my Sony All in One USB 3.0 I get very fast speeds that copy 4 HD movies to a 32gb drive in about 4 minutes. It used to take 70 minutes.

Not sure I fully understand your question. The SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 is a Flash Drive that plugs into and out of any USB port. If the port is 3.0, the transfer rate will be circa 10 X faster than a 2.0 Flash Drive. The Extreme model is the fastest. SanDisk sells an Ultra model too, found at Wally-World. And there is probably a Standard USB 3.0. The Extreme model writes at about 190MB/sec. All 3.0 Flash Drives are compatable with 2.0 USB ports on your computer.

With USB 2.0, it'll move roughly 16 MB/ second. With USB 3.0, it'll move roughly 28 MB/ second.
