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

USB port EXTREMELY slow

After experiencing some of the problems with my new 60GB color display (stalling, having to re-format etc.), my iPod to XP/USB connection finally works; however, it's EXTREMELY slow, taking longer than real time to download a song and stalling for an additional minute or so afterwards. Anyone had the same problem? Any help offered?

Do you have USB 2.0 drivers for your computer?
Right click on "My Computer", select "Manage", Select "Device Manager", Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", do you see something like "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller"? Is it there? Does it have a red X on the itty bitty icon?
If it doesn't have "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller" or "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller" has a red X on the icon, then you are running at USB 1.1 speed. Which is REALLY, REALLY, slow. Just is.
If you want to try to run at USB 2.0 speeds.
Re-enable the "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller", right click, "enable"
If you don't have a "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller", make sure your computer has USB 2.0 (also known as "High Speed USB), check your owners manual. If you computer is supposed to have "High Speed USB", install Windows SP2 (it has the drivers).
Good luck!
Or do what the rest of us have done, connect via Firewire.

USB stick very slow

Hello,
I don't use my USB stick very often, so only today I've found that copying from/to USB is VERY slow (~10kb/s). I remember that some time ago the speed was fast enough. What is wrong, why USB is so slow now?

I recently had to reinstall my system due to a corrupted pacman database.
This is the first time I used my usb sticks and cardreader since the reinstall, and the speed is very slow. It now takes 1.5 hours to transfer 100Mbs of data to and from my usb sticks.
This wasn't the case before I reinstalled: It only took under a minute to transfer 100+Mbs of data.
My fstab:

E4200 usb storage extremely slow over wireless

Hi,
I get about only 500 KB/s for accessing files (as a network drive), regardless of the size of the file (even full 4GB iso)
If I watch a video via media server however I get around 3MB/s.
This is very strange and I cannot locate the issue.
My firmware is currently on 1.00 and I am not upgrading due to the notorious media server problem.
Has anyone else encounter this before?
Cheers

If the concern is with the wireless connection then do the following changes...
You can use same wireless network name or even you can use different network name...
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
If there is any anti-virus or firewall disable them all as well...
And then check connectivity...

Very strange : Export from Organizer extremely slow

Today I came something strange while "exporting Files as New File" from the Organizer. I decided to report it, because the observation may point to a potential improvement.
In the Organizer (PSE V7), I went through File--> "Export as New File..." to export approximately 350 Jpeg Photo-Files (around 3 MBeach) to a USB Stick. I was knowing that writing to my USB stick was slow. But the Export Process was much slower than expected. It was ***extremely*** slow and after more than 1/2 hour, only 16% of the Photos had been exported. Also my PC (Windows XP Professional with SP3) was extremely slow in responding.
I therefore diced to kill the PSE Organizer.
Then I decided to 1) export the 350 Jpeg Files first to a Folder on my ***internal*** disk and then 2) to copy with Windows Explorer that Folder to my USB Stick. This was much, much more rapid.
From this experience, I get the impression that the "Export as new File" logic of PSE is doing something very vstrange and very inefficient ...something that could get probably improved.

I may not be having a snow leopard problem at all.
Going back to an old project in 1080i of an 8 minute length. the estimated time to render is about 50 minutes it says @20% of the way thru. Thats about 6x real time.
Maybe thats what I should expect. I was hoping for a significant speed increase in rendering times with the new OS. What is teh factor averaging for other people ?
I am rendering down to 720p multi pass 2320 kbit rate .MP4 in h.264
Maybe I have a settings problem in project properties in my other project.
I also got inspired and moved the render folders to a separate disk from the source files and put the caches on a 3rd drive. my I/O readings now are at 60 reads/sec.
Thanks for helping me work this issue out with you guys. Will keep you posted.

Finder extremely slow, trash takes ages and some USB-devices don't work

My MacPro is lightning fast when booted without extensions (shift down), but when I boot normally some apps work fine, but the Eye TV usb receiver won't work.
Emptying trash might take hours for 1 or 2 files.
Copying files from one HDD to another takes ages
Finder is extremely slow (takes forever to show contents of a mounted DMG).
installing software will often not work.
awkwardly enough FCP seems to work fine while simple use of the finder is nerve wrecking.
iTunes won't launch.
I've tried adding extra memory (got screwed into buying 4GB at extorniate price at the Apple retaier), cleaning up cache, flushing pram, removing Norton AV, removing all old Adobe apps, all tools I never use...
I tried booting without USB and firewire devices.
now the pc HDD connected show full size empty disks where one cannot write...
I already learned to live with the fact that Snow leopard makes my HP Designjet and all my labelprinters from Brother useless, but I need to work. Does someone have an idea on how to get Snow Laggard to become a Snow Leopard?

Extremely slow wireless xfer from Macbook to USB drive on Airport Extreme

I have tried to set up my external 1TB seagate USB drive to my AE for wireless network storage (only 1 computer on network, but I also have an AppleTV). If the drive is connected directly to my MB the transfer speeds are fine, but when I try to go wireless the speeds are extremely slow - to the point of unusable. I am sure these issues have been discussed previously, but I cant find an obvious solution. Is there anyway to run network diagnostics to see what my MB->AE transfer speeds are and what my AE-WWW speeds are? I dont recall the cable bandwidth that I get from Time Warner - but it is one of the faster options.......

There are at least two explanations for this: (1) Your wireless connection is like to be slower than a direct USB connection. (2) Apple base stations are quite when serving connected disk drives. One reference cites 10-30% of the speed of a directly-connected USB drive.
I dont recall the cable bandwidth that I get from Time Warner - but it is one of the faster options.
I wouldn't expect that to be a factor in the performance you're seeing.

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.

Extremely slow performance transferring data over USB with Time Capsule

I have the 2TB wireless Time Capsule. I have it setup as an extension to my current WiFi at home, since I already had a WLAN router. I have an external harddrive (500gig) that I connected to my Time Capsule because I wanted to transfer data from the Time Capsule to the external HD. The external HD is formatted with FAT32 file system, so read/write is no problem.
When, using my MacBook Pro, I navigated to the Time Capsule and dragged files over to the connected USB harddrive (connected directly in the Time Capsule), the performance to transfer is extremely SLOW! It was slower than doing the transfer completely wirelessly (USB drive connected to laptop and transfer wirelessly from TC)!
I do not understand this at all! It should be a simple transfer using the USB connection! When I do a transfer from my laptop directly to the USB harddrive, with it connected directly to the laptop, the transfers are super fast!
What happened? Can someone please explain this or tell me what I need to do?
Thank you!

I am still confused here.
My original question was regarding the use of my USB external harddrive. It was connected to the back of the TC. The TC was wirelessly speaking to my WLAN router. Using my laptop (also wirelessly speaking to WLAN router), I navigated to the TC and saw 2 listings - one for the data on the harddrive in the TC and one for the new external USB drive connected to the back of the TC. I wanted to transfer data from the harddrive in the TC to the USB external drive. Based on what I expected, I thought the transfer rate would merely be limited by the USB 2.0 interface that is being used by the external drive. However, I was definitely wrong! The transfer rate (shown by the estimate in time to transfer the data by my MacBook Pro) was doubled to 14 hrs.
Originally, it was only 7 hrs when the USB external drive is connected directly to my laptop and I connect to the TC wirelessly. Weird!
So why doesn't the TC simply transfer the data from its internal harddrive to the external USB drive directly without using any wireless technology?
The second question I have is regarding the setup of the TC itself. I have a NetGear WLAN router and its an "n" router. So the speed is good. I have my TC currently downstairs from the WLAN router. Therefore the TC is setup as simply a wireless harddrive. It speaks through the WLAN router in order to be available to all my laptops in my house. My question is whether it should instead be directly connected to the WLAN router using an ethernet cable? Would this improve my overall transfer rates to/from the TC?
Thanks so much.

I just bought a 2 gig USB, AND ITS EXTREMELY SLOW HEEEELP!!

PLEASE HELP

Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
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. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
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 Options 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 connection suddenly extremely slow

As I ususally have manny film, series on my external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreeme, I suddenly got a big supprise when the speed suddenly got extremely slow. Not possible to use it for anything. The internet connection is however perfect.
As it has allways functioned perfectly for me I don´t know what to do. It was about that time I uppdated the Java pack resently submitted by Apple. But I can´t see why this should have aything to do with this.
Has anyone had any simmilar problems, and what is the remedy. I am all blank....

Keep in mind that the very first device you connect will determine the default speed for the entire USB bus. So, if you boot up the MBP, log in, and plug in a USB2 device, then the bus will never operate faster than USB2. You would then need to reboot the computer, and first connect the USB3 device to ensure the bus steps up to USB3 speeds for USB3 devices.
Also, make sure you are using a USB3 compatible cable with any USB3 devices to get max. transfer speeds.

When I bought the computer the usb transfer speed, was fast, but have become very slow over time.
I've tried to do a clean install of OSX but it has not helped

This is a know issue for last 2 years and there has been no response from Apple. I guess its time to ditch mac and install Ubuntu.

USB stick slow to mount

Ever since kernel 2.6.6 (currently using 2.6.9) I have been having some slow mount times (takes about 20 seconds to mount my USB stick). I have tried both devfs and udev but both yield the same results. Currently I am using udev (hence the /dev/stick).
USB media support is compiled into the kernel, as well as all necessary USB bus support (V1's - V2).
My fstab entry:

Strangely, the last eight lines 'loop' or repeat themselves over and over (too long to post obviously). I think this might have something to do with the slowness however I have no idea what it means. Once it is mounted, the device operates at speeds comparable to Windoze.
Thanks for any help.
JSkier

Have you tried plugging in the devices one at a time to see if the problem is with just one of them?
If so, you may need to contact the manufacturer & see if they say it is compatible with 10.4.6 as is, or may need a firmware update, which hopefully they can provide.
Note: when I Googled "Dazzle compact flash reader OS X" I got several hits suggesting at least one model with this description isn't very compatible with OS X, like this one.

Airport Express and USB Hard drive and extremely slow performance

HI Guys,
I seem to having a lot of trouble with an Airport express and a Lacie 1TB drive. While I have solved several problems by updating firmware and enabling journalling on the Lacie, I am still having problems with extremely slow performance with my macbook, particularly using itunes and Firefox.
Any ideas and any further information needed?
Regards

HI,
I formatted it using the Lacie setup program for Mac and later enabled it for journalling using Disk utility. This seemed to solve a lot of the recognition problems I was having, however the I-Tunes and firefox performance is still atrocious. If I do Need to completely reformat it using Disk Utility, will I lose my files on the disk now?
not if you move them to a temporary location before you start.
yes, you are better of formatting the drive with DU.

Very slow transfer's to USB sticks...

I've been having this for some time, so I thought I'd ask around.
When I try transferring a file from my Mac Book Pro to a USB stick, it takes a very long time. The files are around 3-3.5GB. It says 10 minutes but it takes longer and I get the spinning wheel thingy. If I walk away and let it go, it will evenly finish.
Any ideas/?

I do remember noticing something similar to what the OP has observed. And maybe it was with a lower priced USB stick. But I was able to copy smaller files to it without delay, however I gave up on using it with larger files. I think the last stick I bought was an 8 GB one. I wonder if we run into problems when copying files that are of a size that is a significant percentage of the size of the stick? Not sure. But I remember being able to copy 1 GB files easily but ran into problems at 3 or 4 GB.
Regards,
Steve M.
