IPad2 - transfer rate USB to Win7 (direct acces) extremly slow

Hi Guys,
I´ve an iPad2 and like to download 50GB of raw pictures (used the Camera Connection Kit for this) to my Windows7 PC.
Connection via USB work, so I have direct access to my pictures but it´s incredible slow (1.6MB/s).
I´ve also tried it with another PC (also W7), same issue.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi Fred,
yes, 50GB is indeed a lot - but that´s the consequence of travelling around with a DSLR :-)
Nevertheless, it took not long to transfer them from my SD Card.
I´ve using of course a USB2.0 port, other devices like my portable HDD are running quite smooth.
I´ve read some tests done by photosgrafs and all of them are fine with the USB transfer rate.
Still no clue what´s wrong.
Cheers

T61 - Running Hot and USB / 4 in 1 transfers extremely SLOW

I recently noticed that my PC is running hotter than when I first bought it 10 months ago. I did my own Windows XP downgrade from the base Vista that it had. Wondering if that is part of the reason.
Also my USB and 4 in 1 card transfer are extremely slow. Anyone else have these problems on an T61 XP SP2 system?

given the time span, the increased heat could be caused by dust clogging your fan. removing your keyboard to check the fan/heatsink assembly would be a good idea.

USB 3.0 external drive extremely slow on Macbook Air 2014

Dear Apple Support Team & Folks in Apple Community,
Seriously, I have a problem with my new Macbook Air 2014 which has equipped with USB 3.0 port. I read through the forum and hardly find a solution for this.
Recently, I plugged in my USB 3.0 external drive and expect that it would reach the same file transfer speed as that on my PC. Instead of 625 MB/s (5 Gbit/s), it was hardly reaching 60 MB/s (480 Mbit/s) to my surprise! Sounds like Macbook Air doesn't recognize USB 3.0 device properly. I have tried Western Digital and Seagate devices but failed to get reasonable transfer speed on my Macbook Air.
I tried it again with my USB 2.0 external drive on Macbook Air and only got the transfer speed around 15 - 20 MB/s which is disappointing.
Any patches or Firmware updates would be appreciate!
I have OS X 10.9.3 already with EFI and SMC update patched by App Store.

I would be interested to know which consumer grade non-raid external harddisk that could reach 6xx mb/sec.
The speed you mentioned should be normal, since most of these are 5400rpm drives (asumming it is 2.5 inch).

USB Stick Extremely Slow

I installed and setup Developer edition of Solaris. Everything works wonderfully, except the USB drive. It is extremely slow. It worked fine under Linux on the same machine before and it is a USB 2.0 stick and port.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Zen Micro USB 2.0 Transfer Rate Prob

Hi all!
I have searched through the posts here and havn't found a definiti've answer to my question. My question is:
Do you have to be running Creative Media Source in order to get the full USB 2.0 Transfer Rate capability from the Zen Micro?
I have noticed that I have had some pretty slow transfer rates with Windows Media Player 0 but the rate is lightning fast in Creative Media Source. Maybe I am missing some sort of setting.
On another note, I have noticed the sensitivity of the Touch Pad on my Zen Micro is kinda flakey. Sometimes it's very sensitve and sometimes parts of the pad are totally unresponsi've. Here is my observation on the matter. When you turn the player on, the power button snaps back into the other direction if you let go if it quickly. When this happens the button is on the edge of being locked/unlocked so it is sort of intermitantly shorting out. If i slide the button slightly to the left and then let go, the full functionality of the pad is then restored. I think maybe the spring that keeps the button from staying in the off position is too large a spring and needs to be shortened.

my bad, but i should have mentioned that I have a zen touch 40 gig rather than a micro. So I guess no solution yet in my case. It just seems to me that Creative is paying much more attention to the Micro
(MTP support, new firmwares,...) than to their other players, including the touch. they have been talking about a firmware upgrade for the "touch" for months now, but still nothing. The only reason I did not purchase a micro was for its capacity. other than that, not only it gets more development and support attention, but the interface of the player is much better than the Touch, and it seems to work like a charm with WMP 0. Why couldn't they carry the 20Gig micro in North America....
Well enough nagging. Thanks for your reply. Now has anybody solved this slow transfer issue on Zen Touch? i got a feeling the answer is no...

How to get better than 5.2MB/s transfer rate from USB 2.0 on Mac Mini

G'day,
I've got a circa 2007 Mac Mini with 1GB of RAM, running Snow Leopard. Connected to this is a USB 2.0 500GB Seagate Freeagent drive from circa 2008. As far as I know, the USB disk is free of errors.
I am trying to use dd with a block size of 1MB to transfer a 250GB file from an Ethernet mounted Time Capsule drive to the USB disk on /dev/disk1.
A dd from the Time Capsule to the /dev/null gives me a transfer rate of ~35-40MB/s. However, when the target is /dev/disk1, the transfer rate is only around 5MB/s. I checked the system profiler and disk1 is connected to the USB High Speed Bus.
Any clues on how to improve USB 2.0 transfer performance?

Fragmentation is unlikely to be an issue since I was trying to write to the raw block device with dd which is as close to a pure sequential write scenario as one is likely to encounter (e.g. no small block, random access involved)
From a Linux host, I was able to dd to a file on the disk's file system at 20MB/s.
I'll run some other tests with another disk to see whether the issue is peculiar to the disk or to the Mac's USB subsystem.

Will a USB 3.0 to FireWire adapter make my transfer rates faster?

I have a MBP 2010 15 inch that only has a measly UB 2.0 and a (less measly) FireWire port. I have an external sea gate 3tb backup plus desktop hard drive that had a USB 3.0 cable. However, as stated earlier, my MBP only has a USB 2.0 port. But it seems the FireWire port might have better transfer rates. If I used a USB 3.0 to FireWire would it have greater transfer speeds, and by how much? If there is an even better way to connect my hard drive to my aforementioned MBP, please tell me. And if anybody has a good adapter recommendation, please tell me.

There is no such thing as a USB-FireWire adapter/converter. USB and FireWire are electrically and protocol incompatible.
Seagate does make an accessory unit called the STAE 123 that works with the following drives to provide a FW800 interface:
Backup Plus Desktop Drive for Mac V1
Backup Plus Desktop Drive V1
GoFlex Desk for Mac drive with Thunderbolt
If your drive is one of those models, the STAE123 may be the answer to your needs.

Super slow USB stick transfer rate. 2 Gigs in 2 hours ?

How can i speed up my USB memory stick transfer rate.
I'm using 2.4 GHz intel core i5 with 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Yet my 1 GHz windows laptop is much faster in copying files for the same memory stick.
How can i fix this?

You will not be able to use it on the Windows box if you change the formatting. But then you can buy another flash drive for Windows since they are cheap.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Usb transfer rate decay drastically

hi to everybody,
i have a problem:
when i transfer to an usb, transfer rate decay drastically
tested with USB flash and microSD card with its adaptor; with Mac OS i reach the maximum, for example 10MB/s, and the transfer rate remains constant; if i use arch, it reach the maximum but after some time decay to 2 MB/s.....
is normal ??? anybody have this issue ???

Much has been posted in many distros concerning the USB flash problem.
A tutorial regarding the design of Flash devices reveals the basic problem with Flash in general.
It is designed to perform in u know what..windows. The design sets up Flash in FAT32 and lo and behold it runs best in windows!
Trying to get the industry to design specially for Linux is like trying to get a donkey to move.
There seems to be workarounds for various applied "imbedded" flash for elements of the Linux system such as usr and etc wherein reads and writes are minimal.
Cheaper Flash devices vary widely in performance due to algorithms provided or not.
Flashbench and bonnie++ are programs which provide analysis of Flash devices to determine performance of the devices under various modes. Many of the devices thusly analyzed are listed on the internet for users to examine...Linaro seems to be the main activity for such reports.
One recommend for Linux is to use ext4 and have at least 8GB of memory available..therefore 64bit. There probably are reasons for not going that route for some (including the cost).
Raid is also recommended.
The picture is indeed clouded and has been for years.
Perhaps a way to use FAT in Linux will come along but don't hold your breath!

Usb transfer rate problem with bootcamp

hello
drivers for uEye cameras are only available for windows platforms. so i am running windows xp on the latest mac mini with the latest bootcamp drivers in order to use the camera.
everything works great until i plug in another usb device. the transfer rate of the camera decreases dramatic (1/2). the second usb device is an usb hub with a microcontroller. it consumes only low transfer rates.
this constellation works perfect on other pcs. i can't compare it on os x because no drivers for the camera are available.
are there known issues with usb transfer rates on intel mac minis? firewire cameras and harddrives should suffer similar problems.
greetings
michael

are there known issues with usb transfer rates on
intel mac minis? firewire cameras and harddrives
should suffer similar problems.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
To address this specific point - no, there are no known issues with USB transfer rates that are common to Macs but not PCs. The weakness of the USB standard is that it is controlled by the host system rather than a dedicated controller, thus transfer rates (on both Mac and PC platforms) are determined by what the system is doing overall. As a result, transfer rates vary quite dramatically. Firewire, on the other hand, has a dedicated controller which ensures that a consistent data rate is achieved, almost regardless of other system activity. That's why you will often see it recommended that FW is used for external drives rather than USB, since while USB will generally provide better burst rates of data transfer, FW will generally provide far better sustained data rates, despite being theoretically slower.
In your situation, I can't help but wonder if the hub you mention is not causing the system some issues. It would not have to be a matter of it causing any significant data transfer itself, but could be the result of the hub's controller forcing the system into activity which then suppresses potential performance from the camera.
One thing is sure: if the camera works well without the hub connected, but degrades in performance with it, the issue is not with the system or the camera, but the hub.

plz someone who ever experience or know the solution help me
thank you very much before

Hi,
Have you installed ALL the drivers before you made any tests?
You might also want to Clear the BIOS (Copied from Troubleshooting Guide V1.0 as I couldn't find the link for just clearing the Bios):
Quote
Clearing the CMOS chip
Disconnect the system power cord and push the case power button to drain all remaining power in the psu for approximately 15 seconds
Then move jumper jbat1 and wait 10 seconds and move it back to the original position. You should ensure that the jumper has metal inside of it when removed, sometimes (rarely) they don't. This process resets or clears the CMOS chip and is shown in most motherboard manuals.Now connect the power cord and restart your system.
Some motherboards require that the battery must be removed for 20 minutes before putting the battery and jbat1 back for the CMOS chip to be cleared.

Slow file transfer from USB 3 hard drive connected to EA6300

Hi,
I have a 1T external hard drive USB 3 connected to my EA6300 and I have a transfer rate of 3MB/s on my macbook air (AC wifi).
If I connect the HD to my imac and create a network share I go up to 25MB/s (from macbook air). So it's not a wifi issue, I suspect more an issue at the USB / resource management level.
Did someone experience the same issue?
Thanks for you help

Hi,
What is the brand and model of your external hard drive? It might be a compatibility issue.
I have a 1TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex (portable) and it doesn’t have a problem. I made sure that the firmware of my router is updated and did a reset after the upgrade and configured it manually. Also, I removed the hard drive before I did the router update.
I used another hard drive and both of them have no issues with transfer rates.
I do believe that your transfer rate concern is directly related to the usb hard drive compatibility of EA6300.
You might need to check this website so you can see if your hard drive is compatible with your router.

Disk Transfer Rate

Can someone point me in the right direction to download some freeware/shareware apps for OS X than can show me Disk Transfer rates (read/write) for various devices connected to my system?
I.e., an app that shows me the read/write speeds for an SSD connected via USB 2.0 would be great.
I.e., an app that show me the read/write speeds for a Network Attached Storage connected via Gigabit ethernet would be great.
Would be great if the app had the ability to toggle between MB/s, Mbps, Gbps, Kbps, etc...
Thanks!

Transfer rate when moving larger files with MBP +AEBS over 802.11 n

Hi Everyone
I´m very confused about the capabilites of the new AEBS dual band.
I have a Macbook Pro C2D 2,4ghz late 2007 running Snow Leopard , with an airport card N compatible.
Recently i add to my home network an AEBS dual band , and i configure it in bridge mode , with support to the N and G nets.
So when i try to copy a big file (around 2 GB) between the MBP and a FS mounted via NFS, sometime i have transfer rates about 9 to 12 MBytes / s , but after this al the copy´s that y do slow down to 3,4 MBytes / s.
Also i test this copy operation with a 2,5" USB connected directly to the AEBS, and the results are the same , the max rate transfer is 3,4 MBytes /s.
I tried with various radio modes , and different locations (Ireland, etc...) due to the limitation in Spain to use the 5ghz band.
If i look the properties of the connection with de alt button it shows me that the MBP is connected to the N network at 5Ghz and 300 Mbits /s , but the transfers only reach 3,4 Mbytes /s. When i have a G net the transfers reach 2,4 Mbytes / s , i think that i have an limitation in my airport card or a misconfiguration in the AEBS.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks in advance.
Nacho López.

Hi Paul,
The last test is....crazy.
The environment (my home) are the next:
AEBS dual band
MBP connected via wifi N (5ghz)
An old box with ubuntu server 8.10 (Pentium4) with a SATA drive
External USB 2,5" connected directly to the old box via usb.
I perform 2 test , a copy to the SATA drive of the old box, and another copy to the external USB mounted on the old box in the directory /opt/COMPARTIDO/usb.
Here are the results of a scp :
-----COPY TO THE MOUNTED USB-----------------
batman-3:Movies Nacho$ scp -r Ironman\ P1\ \[1080p\]\[AC3\].avi [email protected]:/opt/COMPARTIDO/usb
[email protected]'s password:
[email protected]'s password:
Ironman P1 [1080p][AC3].avi 100% 3334MB 19.6MB/s 02:50
-------19.6MB/S TO MOVE 3,3GB OF DATA IN 02:50--------------
-------COPY FROM MBP TO THE SATA DRIVE OF THE OLD BOX------------------
batman-3:Movies Nacho$ scp -r Ironman\ P1\ \[1080p\]\[AC3\].avi [email protected]:/opt/COMPARTIDO/Mldonkey/incoming/directories
[email protected]'s password:
Ironman P1 [1080p][AC3].avi 100% 3334MB 15.7MB/s 03:33
-------15.7MB/s------------------------------------------------------
So definitly mi issue is not related to wifi N or the performance of my disks. I suspect that maybe the AEBS don´t manage well the protocols like SAMBA (the external usb drive was poor perfomance shared via AEBS) or NFS (the directory shared from the old box also has the same poor perfomance).
If you can, try it, a simple unix scp can makes fly your files over your network.
I´ll continue posting what if discover about this.
Regards,
Nacho.

Data transfer rate Airport Extreme

which is the data transfer rate of the USB port in the Airport Extreme (4ta. Generation)...???
The HDD installed in that port, reads and writes very slow

I executed the test and I have a rate of data transfer of 1.9 escrtura of Mb/s and 2.7 reading Mb/s…. this is very under… What I can do.?
I even reinitiated the Airport and itself with the problem. I directly tested with the ports of iMac, and have DRT of 25.8 and 18.4 Mb/s
Ok, I am assuming that your measurements are in Mega Bytes per Second (MB/s) and not Mega Bits per Second (Mb/s). Even so, I would agree that you are getting low data transfer rates.
What is the make and model of the USB HDD that you have attached to the AirPort Extreme? Is it formatted in HFS+ or FAT32?
Also, the 25.8 & 18.4 readings when you have this drive attached directly is a bit low as well. I would expect something more like: 35 MB/s (read) & 25 MB/s (write) for a USB 2.0-connected HDD.
