Speed Up Pendrive-Data Transfer

Mainly, Data transfer from Pc to Pendrive or vice-versa depends on 3 factors:-

1. The type of files you are transferring. Normally Audio , Video files , Documents and Pictures are transferred at a faster rate than games or .iso files.
2. The age of the Pendrive. If your pendrive is old then it is normal that the data transfer will take longer than normal.
3. The version of the Usb hub and the Pc. Prndrives these days normally come with the USB 3.0 or 2.0 but we have the USB 1.1 port version  in the computers/Laptops which slow down data transfer.

HOW TO SPEED UP YOUR PENDRIVE DATA TRANSFER

1. First step is to check whether our pendrive can transfer a single file greater than 4 Gb(for 8 gb+ pendrives). While formatting your pendrive choose NTFS from the dropdown. Check the properties for any of your Hard disk , it will have a NTFS file system. So while formatting the Pendrive choose NTFS file system to transfer large files and increase transfer speed.
   
    
   
2. Check for Disk Errors.
    Under the Properties Tab of your Pendrive click on "Tools" and then click on "Check Now" for a disk analysis. The process may take some time depending on the data stored in your pendrive and the default space of it.
   

   

   3. Under Pendrive Properties Tab click on hardware select your usb device and click on properties. A              new window will pop up , click on change settings in that. Now move on to Policies Tab and click on Better Performance and click on OK.

Now be amazed with the speed your pendrive data transfer takes place.
