I bought a 64gb Class 10 Samsung micro sd card to use with my s4, and it transfers music from 1kb/s to 50kb/s and it is making me desesperate because my music is in FLAC file format and takes forever, i have no idea what can the issue be, im using the microsd to usb that came with it, tried plugging it in my 3.0 USB port but PC doesnt recognize it, 2.0 does but transfer speed is ridiculous. my PC is good, has an i5-4570 CPU.

What size are these files your transferring? These cards are tested and rated using one large file as they typically designed for cameras. The larger the file, the quicker the transfer rate. Smaller files will transfer slower because your os is accessing different parts of the partition table for these files in a different manner it would for a single large file. And for that, there isn't anything you can do about it. You can test to make sure your card is working properly, transfer a large file, about 200MB+, and see if the speed is increased. If not, then you may have other issues going on.

I transfer FLAC files, about 40-50mb each, an album is from 300mb to 1.2gb so that's not the issue, any other ideas? :(
