USB FLASH DRIVES ARE A GREAT WAY TO TRANSFER FILES BETWEEN COMPUTERS, IT HANDLES A LOT OF DATA COMPARED TO A CDROM, FLOPPY DISK OR ANY OTHER REMOVABLE MEDIA, IT ALSO A VERY HANDY TOOL TO TRAVEL BETWEEN COMPUTERS CARRYING DATA. ALTHOUGH THE SPEED OF DATA TRANSFER IS VERY IMPORTANT, YOU CAN GET AN USB FLASH DRIVE THAT PROVIDES ~300 KB/S DATA TRANSFER SPEED OR ALSO YOU CAN GET ONE THAT PROVIDES UP TO ~10 MB/S DATA TRANSFER SPEED. SO HERES AN ARTICLE ABOUT HOW YOU CAN SPEEDUP YOUR PENDRIVE DATA TRANSFER SPEED AND KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR PEN DRIVE.
What is USB Data Transfer Speed?
Why the USB Transfer Speed Matters?
Example 1:
If the file is sized 2GB
And the Pendrive speed is 5MB per second (the average normal speed on almost all the USB flash drives)
Heres a small calculation about the duration of the transfer:
2 GB x 1024 = 2048 MB
2048 / 5 MB = 409,6 Seconds
Youll be waiting 6 Minutes and 49 Seconds for this Transfer
Example 2:
If the file is sized 2GB
And the Pendrive speed is 30MB per second (an improved speed)
Youll be waiting Only 1 Minute and 8 Seconds
A difference of 3 minutes or more can happen if your pendrive is so slow carrying files. Heres a smart trick to increase the speed of transfer thus decreasing the waiting time.
How to Speedup Pendrive Data Transfer
1) Go to the Pendrive and Right Click then Format...
2) Change the filesystem to NTFS as it supports larger data transfer
3) Uncheck Quick Format then press Start
