I have a SanDisk 2GB Ultra II CF Card (that I purchased from a Staples) that I use in my PDA. I have a built in card-reader in my PC, and I use it to transfer files >> CF Card >> PDA. I formatted it in FAT32. I tried to transfer about 700MB of music that I own on my PC to the memory card...well, it worked, but it took 20 minutes just to transfer 700MB...when I should be seeing at least 3MB/sec. transfer speed...also today I transferred 17MB of map files for GPS use...and it too 35 seconds for 17MB of data. I haven't used an external USB Memory Card Reader...
But in ya'lls opinion, is something whack with my memory card? Or could it be the internal reader/writer? ...it never gets stuck during a transfer or anything like that. Transfers just fine, except it is slow as can be.
Thanks in advance.

I have my internal 16 gb all filled up about 95% and I bought a micro sd card which arrived today.
I began transferring media to the micro sd card under /removable/microsd/ and was able to transfer about 1gb so far of the possible 16gb.
i noticed when i would start a file transfer, i would get a pop up message saying the file "may be copied to the device for storage or transport use only. it is not supported for use on the device itself. if possible, use a media program that can convert the file before copying it. if you copy the file now, it will be stored on the device, but may not be presented in the device user interface."
however, i would get an error after saying theres not enough free space on the device when i began transferring my media.
wtf is going on and how do i transfer my media to the micro sd?
plug it into your PC and copy it to your PC then to microSD
yes, my tablet is hooked up to my pc. that is wherein lies the error messages i'm getting.
so it looks like when i cleared my micro sd and my internals and tried again it worked.
1) first i loaded my media onto the micro sd first
2) then i was able to transfer media to my internal storage
i find this strange because i was having errors loading to the micro sd card after my internal storage was filled up.
Where did you bought the microSDHC card? Did you tested it to full capacity and see if it's genuine?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I also get a message when trying to copy files to the microSDHC card (inserted in the TF) from the PC, but I just click to continue and they copy just fine.
yeah its real. transcend 16gb micro sdhc class 6 straight from amazon.
before i just bypass the message notification (hence loading about 2gb of media onto my micro sd).
when i tried to transfer more, i would get an error saying my storage was full. seems to be fluky.
My average data transfer speed via USB is around 3mb write and 15mb read. Also my 16gb micro sd card got the same speed too, but when I use my card reader to transfer files, I got up to 10mb write and 18mb read. Benchmark shows 10mb/18mb.
What's yours?
Well, imagine that i have that card but it seems to be dead or so, when i use an adapter and put it into my laptop's card reader, or i use the USB card adapter i cannot get the card shown in windows explorer of my Win 7 x64.
When i go to Computer Management > Disk Management, the card is not shown on the top window, but on the bottom one, it is shown, but when i right click on it there is nothing i can do except of changing drive letter.
Any ways of reanimating, reformatting the card? I do not care about the data in it, i want the card to be usable. Thanks
Anyone?
you need a update please check your windows update there is ad update for support of sd up 32 GB
Well, the card is 64 GB, not up to 32.
What i mean that this card used to work before, i could transfer files to it, but then after a month i cannot access it
Hi,
today, I found out, that transfering files via usb is so slow on my device.
I've got sd card class 10 (and also tried out some other cards which had the same issue, so perhaps the problem is not there)
I also tried to transfer some files to internal usb storage and it didnt aproved any upturn. Neither did different cable.
Transfering 3,5 GB card takes about 16 minutes,
using mtp, rooted Galaxy Beam I8530.
I am vanilla user, but I think it should be faster.
Any types for improving transfering speed or is there any other problem which needs to be solved?
Thanks in advance
The issue is not your sd card, but the USB interface itself is very slow. There isn't much you can do other than using a different interface. If you have a card reader on your computer, you can take out the sd card and put it into there to see if it will read faster.
Hello I an running a Droid Z2 Force. I have several cameras in which store pics/vid on SD cards. I generally use the Samsung EVO Select 32GB cards. I have a USB C to USB A 3.0 adapter. And a USB 3.0 card reader.
I have been using the native File Manager version 4.0.27.
I transfer the pictures from the SD card via the card reader to an SD card that resides in my phone. Also a Samsung EVO Select.
On multiple occasions I have experienced file loss. I perform the file transfer with the native file manager by selecting the folder on the SD card that is in the reader, selecting move to, selecting the folder on the SD card in phone that I want the files, and selecting paste. Occationally once completed the folder with pictures/videos is not on either SD card. They are totally lost.
Also the transfer speed is extremely slow. Painfully slow.
What is the best file manager for USB OTG file transfer like I am doing? I want something reliable that won't loose my pics. And something that will xfer quickly.
Also does it matter if I use Fat32, NTFS, or exFAT for the SD card? Currently I believe I'm using Fat32 but I will have to double check.
If I have left out any needed information please ask and I will supply it.

Use the 'copy' function instead of move, could be damaged sd card, bad card reader or anything.
