Hello people,

I recenlty installed a samsung ssd pro 512GB,and when i tried to transfer a folder 5GB to a USB,the speed was 1,2,3,10 and etc. MB/s.

I have done all the instructions mentioned below:

Here is some photos might help:

Concerning the SSD itself, there is no issue. In fact, regarding other benchmarks ( http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Samsung-850-Pro-512GB/Rating/3478 ), your benchmark's result seemed to achieve faster results based on the average! So yup, the SSD looks clean.

Now, this SSD is most likely connected through SATA 3 (6Gbps theoretical), so the SSD itself should support speeds going up to 500MB/s and maybe a bit better depending on the scenario. Afterwards, considering this, I think your only way to go, concerning the interface, would be to either use another drive connected through SATA, or have it connected externally through USB3. Finally, HDDs (only in the first seconds) and (some) USB sticks could show some nice speeds, but only another...

Hello Giwrgos_4,

Thank you for providing this much info regarding your issue.

The most likely cause for this problem is that even though you have a blazing fast local storage, if the external storage (the USB you were mentioning) can't keep up the speeds from the SSD, this would explain the reason why you're getting such low transfer rates. It mostly depends on the device being used, but this would be possible even with some cheap USB 3.0 sticks. To confirm this statement, I invite you to provide the brand and model of the USB device in question.

Concerning this device:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1019596-REG/kingston_dtig4_8gb_8gb_datatraveler_g4_usb.html
As written on the site, it supports theoretical 40Mbps (~5MB/s) of read and 10Mbps (~1.25MB/s) of write. As of Kingstron's website directly, neither the specifications, nor the datasheet (see the following link: http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/DTIG4_en.pdf ) are stating any speeds at which it may go.

Conclusion: There is no problem.

Hope this helps! Don't hesitate to reply to this message if you have any further interrogations concerning this matter.

Finally, HDDs (only in the first seconds) and (some) USB sticks could show some nice speeds, but only another SSD would be able to keep up fully with the speed of your SSD.

Long story short, the point of an SSD is mostly to benefit of the greater speeds for your OS & softwares. You will rarely have an opportunity to fully see the speed of the SSD itself through raw transfer rates from a device to another.

IF you are eager to experience its speed, I mean ABSOLUTELY... What I could suggest is to start multiple simultaneous transfers to multiple HDDs (all on USB3). The addition of the separate transfer rates might not be what you'd expect (since we're not placing the odds on our favor), but it should be able to keep up the speeds pretty nicely compared to compying FROM an HDD.

Hope this answered your question!
