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.
K.S.G.
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?

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.
Hey all,
Bought my TF today and iam an android user for long time..so rooted it...installed prime rom on it..Is it me or when I try to connect to USB to PC.. it connects as a media player and shows storage..fine but the speed in unbelievebly slow! Like for a 300 mb file taking me 40 mins?!! Is it same for all of you guys? If Iam doing something wrong...please guide me!!
Thanks
Soundslike you are transferring at USB1.0 speeds. I believe the TF can transfer at USB3.0 speeds. As an example, I copied 3 full length movies around 800Mbytes each in less than 15minutes. Try a different port or computer
Exactly!! thats why wondering! While I can copy stuffs to micro SD card pretty fast...whenever iam trying to copy something to internal storage its soooooooooo slow!! What am I doing wrong? Is it may be a rom problem? :S

It's likely, like the other post said, that you're plugged in to a USB1.0 port. Connect to a different USB port; a faster USB port. USB 2.0 or 3.0

I just did some transfers today, 1.34 gb one file took about 5 mins or so but I had some files that went slow mo so I disconnected the usb cable then plugged it back it and got the higher speed again.
The stupid Asus sync on the tablet was always on the taskbar.
BTW does any know how u transfers files directly to the microSD with the USB cable, I had to copy to tablet then move it over to Sd card?

I did change my ports...but no help...Nd for your question...inside the internal storage you will see there is a folder called Micro SD.....Agh this slow speed is really frustrating!! lol
I hate to say it, but try a different computer and see if the speed stays as slow. A newer computer? Just confirm it isn't your hardware!
Yup will try that tomm... lets see.. :S Dont want to return it....

You could try getting an SDCard reader for your PC. There are USB adapaters that take microSDs. Then you can copy direct to the microSD without going through the USB cable at all

Mate the the thing is that when I copy something to Micro SD its pretty good and fast but when ever its the internal storage..It takes agess!! :S
Well I had SE w960i.. it transferred 1GB in less than 3 minutes through USB. But it had a internal memory.. So the speed difference?
By the way... How do I access TF's internal storage by USB cable? It doesn't shows as connected removable device at all. Can connect with asus sync though, and I've installed some drivers for it also, but somehow I can't copy files directly to TF... Maybe I'm missing some drivers anyway.
Hey there folks,
I'm experiencing the same problem actually - horrendously slow transfer rates to the internal memory of the device.
I've tried both my Laptop and my Desktop, each with USB 2.0 ports, but each connection gives me the lovely Window error message "This device can perform faster if you connect it to a USB 2.0 Host..." etc., etc. Anyone have a similar issue? Could this be a driver issue on both machines? Am I just doing something incredibly wrong?
I'm running KRAKD 1.5.2, and would really like to transfer my music over to this thing in less than 3 hours =( Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I'm trying to copy files from pc to SD card via USB cable, but I have only 4MB/s transfer speed. My microSD card is a 32GB Kingston Class 10. If I put the microSD in the USB adapter I get like 10-11MB/s write speed, but over usb cable only 4.2MB/s max.
I've tried USB Mass Storage Enabler, same problem, it didn't helped in any way. Is there a fix?
I'm running stock Android 4.2.2, GT-I9105P.
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.
