With the constant use of flash media to transfer data from computer to computer, the user develops certain ideas about the most suitable usb media. One of the most important qualities is the speed of writing and reading. Unfortunately, it is impossible to set the speed higher than the carrier supports. However, other factors often cause slow data transfer.

Step 1
Plug the media into the USB port on the motherboard. In this case, the data transfer goes directly through the usb controller to the processor and hard drive. If you plug a USB flash drive into the connectors on the front (side, top) panel of the case, the data goes to the motherboard through the motherboard of the case itself.
Step 2
Disable your anti-virus software if you are sure of the "purity" of the transmitted data. Powerful antiviruses control all processes in the operating system, including the processes of reading from and writing to media. Antivirus will scan data on the fly, which slows down the transmission speed. Do not forget that many programs that are in the startup operating system load a personal computer.
Step 3
Conversely, make sure your computer is free of viruses. Install an effective antivirus. Many viruses are written into the media startup file, and when the media is connected, they are activated, which will affect the data transfer. Some media may be blocked by a computer due to viruses.
Step 4
Write files in archives to media. If you need to record a whole list of small files, combine them into one archive. In this case, it is important to save space due to file compression, and the data transfer process itself: one file will be written much faster than a set of small ones of the same size. Format your media regularly and clean up unnecessary information. An excess of small files and bad sectors significantly impair the perception of a USB flash drive by the operating system. It is best to format the storage medium at least once a month in order to completely remove viruses, temporary files, and unnecessary information.
