    Expected transfer rate Windows 10 to USB 3.0 Stick


    Bonjour,
    I am questionning a lot the usual transfer rate Windows offers for different file transfers.

    For example, what transfer rate should I expect from Windows 10 USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 Kingston stick.

    I know Kingston are not the top of the line but they are far from the crapest stick on the market these days. When transferring a video file of 1.9G to the stick I got 4.5 MB/s of transfer rate which I find quite low.

    The port is USB 3.0 so is the stick. Bran new Gamming 7 Gigabyte Mobo.

    Thanks

    :)

    Hi Mok,

    Transfer rate may vary on the type of USB (E.g. USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) you are using and the RPM (revolutions per minute) of your hard drive. The higher the RPM the faster data transfer. Is your computer and hard drive a USB 3.0 compliant?

    Regards.

    Why are file transfers between drives so much slower in Win 10 than in Win 8.1 (using same PC and drives)?

    I have the Windows 10 pro upgrade (Insider review version) and Windows 8.1 concurrently installed on a Dell XPS-8700 desktop. I also have 3 internal multi-terabyte drives, 4 (multi-terabyte) USB 3.0 and 1 (4 terabyte) USB 2 drive attached to this PC.

    When I transfer large (>200 MB) files from a USB 3.0 drive to the USB 2 drive in Win 8.1 I get transfer rates, typically around 40 MB/s. In Win 10 for the same type transfer, between the exact same drives, I get a transfer rate around 10 MB/s.

    Can anyone suggest an explanation for this? I mean, I just did it. It takes between 2 to 5 minutes to swap OSs. So it's not like one day I use Win 8.1 and the next I use Win 10. I just did it with no more than a 1/2 hour between the Win 8.1 transfers and
    similar Win 10 transfers.

    I've noticed other, file related, performance differences between 8.1 and 10 and they aren't, as one would expect, in Win 10's favor.

    I'm really at a loss here. Any suggestions?

    Expected transfer rate Windows 10 to USB 3.0 Stick

    Doing some research I kinda found the answer to my interrogations.

    Using this website, comparing USB keys and giving benchmark I could establish that the stick I have performed exactly as it should. I tested my sandisk extreme and got almost 100Mb/s of transfer rate for the same file.

    Using my Corsair Voyager, which is the fastest USB 3.0 stick I have, I average about 80MB/s transfer.

    But, I find it varies a LOT between different sticks and different brands. Some only get in the 20's.

    Connecting a USB 3.0 device to a USB 2.0 Port will dramatically decrease overall performance.
    In a Elevated Command Prompt type
    winsat disk -drive x: (where x is your drive letter)

    That is a full set of bench marking for your Drive.
    How big is your Stick ? Which Format?
