Speed is fine. I don't think you can get sustained speeds with a file that size.

Thank you this is what I come up with.: https://ibb.co/kKpokG
Where it says PATRIOT that is my 256GB USB.
The speed seems right but I don't understand why it drops off so low while it's transferring.

Insert the USB. Open a terminal:

Code: [Select]
df -h
get the drive letter of your USB. Then do:

Code: [Select]
sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sxx
where sxx is your USB. Report back the results.

Tried the updates speed stays the same. Hmm, would there be any other 3rd party drivers for USB 3.0?

Thanks I will do that. Also, when it first transfers it starts at over 100mb/s and then it drops.

It could be that the USB3 driver is not working and defaults back to USB2/USB.
I do not have any LL machine with USB3 to check but, just an idea.
And just in case... install all Linux Lite Updates and check if drivers are available.

Cheers!

Hello, I'm transferring a 64GB video .mkv file. I took a pic of my speed right now.  https://ibb.co/dEczqG
File format you mean? My USB stick? It's exfat and the SSD is ext4 format.

Thanks

What file format is on both the source and the destination? It also depends on the file type/s that you are transferring.

Hi all. I'm transferring files from my Dell E6330 Laptop to my USB drive. In windows I get anywhere from 120-130mbs constant. Now this is transferring to a 7,200 RPM drive. I do have an SSD which sometimes is a bit faster transferring files. Now the problem is, on my laptop the transfer rate goes below 30mbs for the same files I transfer to my Windows PC. The laptop has USB 3.0 ports and I'm using a Corsair 360GB SSD so my transfer rate should at least be near 100mbs. Is there anything with Linux Lite I can do to speed up the transfer?


Thanks
