“up to” is usually in ideal circumstances. Nothing else running on the machine, very efficient OS, no security apps running, lots of RAM, ligntning fast processor, perfect power, perfect room temp, etc. etc. Obviously one or more of those items is effecting your speeds. Security apps can play a big part of it as can dirty contacts.
You seem to spend quite some time here answering questions and helping people fixing problems - I truly believe we all highly appreciate this!
Back to my topic: I did suspend my virus/security SW during my tests. I watched task/mgr-resource/monitor for disk activities and there seemed to be just the test pgm accessing the drive - appart from the usual system monitoring.
Did this with both h2testw and ATTO (tried to attach a hardcopy but this reply box doesn’t seem to allow).
Still I feel somewhat disappointed with the throughput.
In the end the package in the store didn’t tell me to buy a Cray supercomputer to reach the specs…
Hi Scrambler, i just bought a sandisk extreme and i just opened it. Having very slow speeds as u are. read : 70mb/s and write: 45-50mb/s. I am very very disappointed with the product.
Asus has a program “Power4Gear Hybrid”. If this is on your system then go to advanced settings,usb,selective suspend and disable it on both Battery and Plugged in. Suspend will stop power to a port when it’s inactive. Hope this helps
I also own a Extreme 3.0 64gb and got great readings from Atto. Your readings are very low compared to what I was getting. R/265 W/174. Maybe run a R/W test on another system. Usb device tree viewer will show you all usb devices, their respective speeds (i.e. High speed super speed,etc) and 2.0 or 3.0 port. Hope this helps
Open device tree and then plug in your usb. Where it shows your connection ( I believe it’s red and blue) you should see an “SS” for super speed. You may have a Rotten Flash Drive otherwise
