Cruzer USB 2.0 16 GB extremely slow file transfer

Hi There,

I bought a new Sandisk 16G USB drive. Once I realized that it does not copy files more than 4G then I found a solution KB and reformatted the drive into NTFS and chose the optimization feature.

Now that I am able to copy huge files into my drive , a new problem has raised. Transfer is too slow. It took approx. 24 minutes to copy 6G file to the drive.

I got contacted with OnlineSupport and adviced that they don’t have the speed rates for those entry level products and I could buy a higher level products.

This is where everything is get jammed:

  1. How come they only have speed rates for only expensive products?

  2. I guess they actually have but they don’t share it because they will accept the poor performance of the drive.

I asked these questions with a new support case attaching the chat we had with th agent. But they had answered exactly the same way with the log of chat we had :D…

Which means they are giving exactly the same answer. With an addition: Now they have forwarded me KB site to find a solution :D…

Did any of you met the same speed issues?

Regards,

Burak

Short Term Solution: I replaced Sandisk Cruze USB 2.0 with another 16 GB USB drive of another vendor for a better price.

It took 6 minutes to copy the same 6 GB file.

At least they have speed rates on their covers and product is doing what is supposed to.

FYI.

Does the other vendor have a name and brand?

Toshiba ReadyBoost 16, 5 times faster than Sandisk Cruzer…

Yep, same problem.  USB2 should run about 35MB/s and I only get about 4MB/s.

Probably the last time I buy ANYTHING made by Sandisk.

How does that go, “Fool me once…”

Don’t forget “You get what you pay for”.  Faster devices cost more.

I also ran into this issue. See my reply in another post: http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/All-SanDisk-USB-Flash-Drives/Sandisk-Extreme-USB-3-0-32gb-Slow-copy-and-read-speed/m-p/292705#M4617

But, yet to find a solution…

 Several years later, in a land far away… My 64gig Sandisk Cruzer is slower than an old USB 1.0 256meg Dell branded memory stick I have… WTF Sandisks? I’m seriously regretting buying your product right now…

My 64gig Sandisk Cruzer is slower than an old USB 1.0 256meg Dell branded memory stick I have…

Are you using SecureAccess to write your files to the drive?

Correct me if I’m wrong but should flash drives be formatted to FAT32? Might as well try that too.
