Windows 10: USB Drive slow on laptop but not on desktop

Context here! I have this USB 3.0 drive that's formatted with exfat. When I connect this drive to my main desktop the transfer speeds are really fast.But here's the issue. When I connect this same drive to my laptops usb 3.2 ports the transfer speed caps at 20mbps.I've already checked all the power related settings and I've even confirmed with a usb viewer software that windows detects the drive as 3.0 and not 2.0 which I was worried it did at first.What can be causing such a mystery? Both the pc and laptop had clean win 11 installs last month.The laptop is a Nitro 7 AN51.

USB Transfer to Laptop

Hello Judy,

I suggest you to copy all the files to a flash drive from the laptop.
You may create a new folder on your desktop and name that folder as per your choice.

• 
  Perform the steps to transfer the files from laptop to desktop.
  
• 
  Plug in the flash drive and wait for it to get detected.
  
• 
  Now, open the flash drive and Right Click on the files that you want to transfer and select “Copy”.
  
• 
  Now, open the folder on desktop and Right Click on an empty space in the folder and select “Paste”.
  
• 
  Similarly, you can transfer all other files.
  

As per the file size you can also use an external drive instead of a flash drive and transfer the data.



Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

Slow hard drive

I don't know how it slows it down, I just know that windows goes crazy if I have my USB drive in my computer while trying to boot windows *Laugh :laugh:. And I got the list trick off of Wazzledoozle.
