Pen Drive slow as fook...

[itsallgood]

Hi guys,

I got one of them LG USB 2GB Retractable pen drives... and its sooo damn slow.

It's a pain in the arse to use. Saving work, opening documents, its just shiit.

Is it because of the size? 2GB

Or do you think it could be a faulty disk?

It's almost 3x slower then my 64mb disk. (which may not sound alot, but it suuure is)

:cheers:

could be a faulty pen drive or maybe try formatting it.

Its not normal for the bigger drives to be slower then mate?

What should i format it to? FAT or FAT32???

Cheers.

I have a 2gb pen drive and it opens instantly and mine is in fat format.

nah, it didnt help :(

Cheers mate, i've emailed svp.

I'm looking into getting an 8GB one now, but they all have rubbish transfer speeds -- i need somthing reliable and fast.

Cheers for the help ;)

Make sure your mobo and the OS support USB 2.0.
