My USB 2 0 flash drive works very slow (just ca. 150 kb/sec)

[404071]

Dear All, My 16 GB USB 2.0 flash drive can only write at ca. 150 KB/sec.
What is happened?

Assuming all of your USB ports and drivers are working properly (check Device Manager for any reported problems), then I would assume that your flash drive is possibly defective.

Have you tried using it on another computer to verify its performance?

Good luck!

I second the above.

Test the flash drive on another computer.
If performance does not increase drastically your flash stick is probably defective.

Also, if you're using a USB hub (depending on the model), that can also slow down your flash drive's performance.

True, if an old USB 1.x hub.
