Hi,

I have a Lenovo laptop with 6GB Ram, 500 GB SSD and USB 3.0 ports.
When i try to transfer anything to my SanDIsk flashdrive, i get speeds of approx 20KB/s , which is really frustrating.
I admit the flashdrive only has USB2.0. But even then this is too slow for it.
Oh, and im using Win10 if that helps.

I'd really appreciate any help at all. Thanks.

Hey there, adi6194.

It is too slow indeed. Have you tried it with a different computer/device to see if the issue still persists. You should also try a different mass storage device with that laptop (preferably by connecting it to a different USB port), to see if the same thing happens.
If it turns out to be an issue with this computer particularly, I'd recommend that your try to update or reinstall the USB controller's driver. You could also try updating the chipset driver as well.
Check for available OS updates and install them, to see if that fixes things up.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
