Anyone getting faster transfer speeds using an USB 3.0 flash drive with an USB 3.0 OTG cable?
I am using an USB 3.0 OTG cable with a SanDisk Extreme 3.0 thumb drive and am not getting any faster large file transfers than my 2.0 drive. (Around 35MB average on both drives.)
Could it be related to the read/write speed of the internal NAND?
I believe it will only work with windows pcs. Aomething about the drivers. This coupd potentially be hacked though

im waiting to recieve an mx2
i dont have an sd card, but was wondering can i use a usb flash drive, to download data too?
Sv: instead of an sd card, can i connect a usb flash drive? as storage space...
I would think so. I have the mk808b and I've attached a powered USB hub to it. In the hub I have my keyboard receiver and USB flash drive. So it probably works on your device too.

Yes i agree you should be able to :good:
usb power
which usb power hub do you have>
You can use any USB thumb drive without a powered HUB. Only larger HDDs require power.

Hi,
I've tried to connect an SSD to my Nexus 5 using the following setup:
Samsung 840 EVO mSATA (MZ-MTE500BW)
ZTC SkyBoard mSATA enclosure
StarTech OTG cable
and apparently there is a power issue.
I've tried to connect using Nexus Media Importer, and although it detects USB Host Support and the OTG connected, it fails to see any storage.
Trying with a memory stick worked, so I know it is not a problem with the app or the cable.
The enclosure with the SSD work when connected to a computer.
From what I know the power consumption is as follows:
Phone can deliver up to 500mA (or 2.5W)
The SSD can consume up to 1W
I could not track down the specs for the enclosure, but the store I bought it from said that it could consume up to 500mA, so it seems that it all adds up to more than the phone can provide.
So, has anyone tried connecting a mSATA to a Nexus 5 and can recommend an enclosure that has a lower power requirement?
Thanks!
SSD's are not the same technology as USB flash drives. They use complex controller boards like HDD's do. Although an ssd has no mechanical parts like a HDD, its still going to need more power than the phone can give. You'll need a powered connection to use an ssd at least - as you would a HDD

I have experienced the same problem with external hdd. It worked fine with pc. Put pluging it to the phone made the power led blinking rapidly on the external hdd case like it has not enough power. I used an USB hub with its wall adapter then the problem gone.
Yes, I now they differ both as technology and power requirements. However, the SSD only consumes 1W while the phone can provide 2.5W. So the problem must be the enclosure.
This is why I was asking if anyone has a recommendation for an mSATA enclosure that consumes at most 1.5W.
Thanks!
Just saying.. I don't think that will be enough.
Also not sure where you're getting your 1w stat from. 500GB evo mSATA has been observed over 2.5w.

Ssd needs more power. Ssd≠usb flash disk

Is anyone noticing slow USB transfer speeds? I have 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 ports on my computer. The 3.1 port displays extremely slow transfer speeds when it should be lightning fast. This is using the factory cable that came with the phone. I don't have any other 3.1 devices to test the port with.
Yes. My Previous Pixel 1 used to give 150-160 MBps while transferring files to my PC
Now my current Pixel 2 gives 60-70 MBps USB transfer speeds.
I am using the same Anker USB 3.0 to USB C transfer cable.
1498МB file
Ugreen A to C 50 cm & Pixel 2 -----> 0m21c ~71MB/с
Does anyone know how to enable full usb3.1 speeds on pixel.
Right now I'm using Samsung t3 SSD, but the write speeds are only about 110mb/s. Which is 5 times slower than a computer with usb3.0 port where I get 400mb)s write speeds.
So I'm wondering if there is any kernal or ROM that I can use achieve full sppeds,?
Thanks
Are you sure you're using USB 3.1 cable?
Yes im. I'm using apple thunderbolt to USB converter . And the USB info shows that it's using usb3.0. and 110mb/s write speeds are not possible with usb2.0.
It's faster than usb2.0 connection but no where close to uab3.0 speeds.
Totally guessing, but it's based on general tech experience for many years. The USB to Thunderbolt conversion could be the culprit. Things are often lost in the shuffle when using some kind of adapter that has to translate between formats.
The only way of telling for sure would be to use an equivalent drive that had a native USB 3.1 (or 3.0) connection.
Samsung S10e snapdragon 855 version is USB 2 or USB 3.1? Also is the sd card read and write gimped compared to the S10?
Unfortunately, it's 2.0. However I did copy about 4gb of movies in about 3 minutes. I think it had more to with the ufs storage vs emmc.

That is quite a disappointment. You would think usb 2 would slow down Dex.
Did you try a usb 3.1 usb cable?
According to the specs, it's 2.0

I see quick charge 2 but no where does it say usb 2.0
I have no problem with usb 2 as I rarely ever usemh usb port. As long as it does not effect charging speed in the future or dex.
When using a proper USB 3.1 cable, it transfers data to and from PC much faster than USB 2.0 rate. Samsung cheaped out and only supplied a 2.0 cable, but my aftermarket cable definitely shows it's 3.1 spec.
