Question: The process of copying to a USB flash drive drops to 0
When copying to a USB 2.0 flash drive, via a laptop with usb connectors 3.0 there is an unknown piece. What does this not happen with all flash drives 2.0. The copying process starts normally, but after copying a small amount, the speed drops to 0 and then copying does not continue. Formatted the flash drive in all formats, enabled / disabled caching, tried everything file managers and programs for copying. I repeat that this does not happen with all 2.0 flash drives, I have three of them available. Two work fine, with 3 such troubles and with some flash drives that they asked to throw something off.
Answer: Novito, firewood on USB delete everything and reboot
Question: In office. network on one computer, the Internet disappears when copying files from a second computer to a third. Doesn't it happen?
There is a small office network, about 10 computers and one as a file hosting service. All on Win 7.
Suddenly, on one of the computers (Let's call it conditionally BUT) the Internet is cut off, while internal network continues to work without problems. Network icon without exclamation mark. Ping to Yandex writes "interval exceeded ...", but occasionally packets pass.
After much experimentation, it turns out that if on another computer (let's call it B) or third (let's call it AT) copy something from a file hosting service (let's call it G), then in the process of copying on a computer BUT Internet goes down. As soon as copying is completed, the Internet appears.
At the same time, if you copy something from the File Hosting on other computers ( D, F, F, G, I...), then the Internet on computer A does not disappear.
All computers are connected by an unmanaged gigabit switch
The old reliable Router / Firewall manages all this.
Some computers are connected directly to the GS116 switch, and some to the second GS608 switch, which, in turn, is connected to the first one.
The network diagram is attached.
I will immediately answer the possible assumptions: IP and MAC addresses on computers naturally different. On some IPs they are configured manually, on some they are received automatically. Network 192.168.1.1-254
All computers are connected by cables, not by Wi-Fi.
Another nuance. But maybe that's okay. Ping in the network grows up to 20 ms if you download something from the "file sharing".
Answer:
Message from NoVoAo
Suddenly on one of the computers (Let's call it conditionally A)
Update driver motherboard and network card, or temporarily replace (install) another network card so as not to torment users. Call the wiring or re-compress twisted pair on both sides, maybe the wire was frayed somewhere by the chair (stretch a new twisted pair or connect from another PC)

GetDataBack for FAT and NTFS 4.00.2
One of the leading and well-known, not only in narrow circles, data recovery tools from various media. The German program GetDataBack, with its inherent reliability and accuracy, will recover data, even if the partition table and boot sector are damaged, folders and files are destroyed, as a result of a virus attack, accidental formatting, overwriting, deletion, etc. Even if a low-level format is performed or if the system itself "does not see the disk", GetDataBack will still return your data to you.
It uses a simple and absolutely safe for files, in the "read-only-copy" mode, a three-step individually configurable recovery system. Works with both long names and non-standard Unicode character sets, such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Greek, etc. GetDataBack returns data from hard drives (IDE, SCSI, SATA), dynamic drives, USB drives, floppy disks, disk images, partitions, Zip/Jaz disks, CF, Smart Media, SD flash cards, USB Flash Drives and iPod disks. Released separately for FAT and NTFS.
This program exists in two versions - GetDataBack FAT and GetDataBack NTFS, each of which works only with the mentioned file system type. The program interface is a typical step-by-step "Wizard". At the first stage, you have to choose the type of recovery - recovering deleted files, recovering data as a result of formatting / deleting a partition, recovering "chaotically erased" data. In the next step, you specify the partition or region of the disk to search, and GetDataBack starts scanning. The process is not fast, so the advantages of the program include the ability to save intermediate results at any stage of recovery. The program will show you the sections found by it in the specified area. Finally, after selecting a partition, GetDataBack will list all found files and allow you to restore the selected ones.
GetDataBack allows data recovery both on the computer on which the program is installed, and on a remote one - for example, on any of the computers on the local network.
The following media types are supported:
hard drives with IDE, SCSI, SATA interfaces
USB drives
Firewire drives
separate sections
dynamic disks
floppy disks
disk images
Zip/Jaz drives
Compact Flash, Smart Media, Secure Digital cards
USB flash drives, iPod discs
R-Studio 5.1.130005 Rus
R-Studio is a group of reliable, efficient and cost-effective utilities for recovering data from hard drives, as well as other devices - such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, USB drives, ZIP drives and flash memory devices (Compact Flash Card, Memory Sticks) . Based on the latest unique media analysis and data processing technology, R-Studio is the most comprehensive software solution recovery utilities available on the market for FAT12/16/32, NTFS, NTFS5 (created or modified in Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista), Ext2FS/Ext3FS (file Linux systems), as well as UFS1/UFS2 partitions (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris file systems). The program functions both on local and remote computers over the network, even if disk partitions have been formatted, damaged or deleted. The easy-to-set parameters interface of the program gives the user absolute control over the data recovery process.
R-Studio utilities restore files
* Deleted outside the Recycle Bin or when the Recycle Bin has been emptied;
* Removed by virus attack or computer power failure;
* After the file partition has been reformatted, even to a partition with a different file system;
* When the partition structure of the hard disk has been changed or damaged. In this case, using R-Studio software can be scanned HDD, find a deleted or damaged partition, and only then recover data from the found partition.
* From hard drives that have a large number of bad sectors. The R-Studio recovery program can first copy the information and create an image of the whole disk or part of it, and only then work with the image file saved on other media as with the original disk. This is especially useful and effective when the number of bad sectors on the disk is constantly growing, and the remaining information needs to be saved immediately.
New features of R-Studio
Various ways data presentation. With the help of R-Studio, data on a disk can be presented according to the actual folder/file structure, as well as sorted by extension, Created/Last Accessed/Modified time.
File ordering. Found files and folders can be sorted by their original structure, extension, creation/modification time.

UFS Explorer Professional Recovery 3.15.3
The UFS Explorer software product is a powerful, comprehensive and easy-to-use data access and data recovery product. It was created to provide easy way receiving your information.
With UFS Explorer you can read-only (non-destructively) access to:
Partitions of various operating systems: Windows, Linux, BSD, Unix, Solaris, MacOS, SnapOS, Netware (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, UFS, UFS2, HFS, HFS+, UDF, ISO9660, NWFS);
Various media: all Windows-defined PATA/SATA drives, SCSI drives, USB drives (flash cards, digital devices, external rigid disks), CD/DVD, floppy and similar devices, RAID arrays (even disassembled);
Disk images of these media, as well as virtual disks created by virtualization products of various vendors: VMWare, Microsoft, Parallels.
Along with its alternative method of accessing information, UFS Explorer contains functions for recovering lost files after deletion, formatting, re-partitioning the disk, virus attack.
The application is suitable even for professionals in data recovery and provides a complete set of tools for accessing data and recovering information.
KEY CONCEPTS:
Accessibility: UFS Explorer is a product that allows you not to care about the actual location of the data. It supports fast and secure access to most drives, including SCSI/SATA/PATA, USB drives, RAID arrays, virtual disks vmware, Microsoft Virtual PC, Parallels Workstation, Bochs and regular disk and partition images.
Built-in support for most file systems makes data recovery very easy!
Data Recovery
Multiple levels of recovery: UFS Explorer allows you to quickly get the required data.
UFS Explorer products use several levels of recovery, from direct reading of the file system to advanced heuristic analysis methods. This allows you to get the result as efficiently as possible and in the shortest possible time.
If you have several operating systems on one computer - UFS Explorer makes information available regardless of the actual location and at the usual speed!
Lost or deleted file? Is the file system damaged? UFS Explorer will help you recover your data.
Data Recovery
Network recovery: Are you an organization with a wide computer network? Of course, you care about reducing the risk of data loss on the workstations of your employees, and in case of loss, restore it as soon as possible.
Using UFS Explorer, you can minimize downtime by quickly recovering information over the network instead of calling a specialist to the job site.
Files Undelete
Quick Undelete instead of lengthy scans: File deleted? UFS Explorer supports fast recovery with FAT and NTFS.
This gives very fast method restoring a file if it is deleted from the "Recycle Bin" or deleted without the "Recycle Bin".
If you have a digital camera or an MP3 player recognized by Windows as a drive, with UFS Explorer you can restore deleted files without much difficulty directly from the device and copy to your local drive.
RAID Recovery
RAID recovery: RAID down due to drive or controller failure? Unable to collect array after reconfiguration? UFS Explorer can help you virtual build your RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 1+0 or simple JBOD RAID (or combinations) and recover information from there.
UFS Explorer can automatically reconstruct some RAIDs: You only need to specify the disks or disk images on which the RAID is located; manual build mode is also supported.
Unlike some similar products, UFS Explorer builds virtually so you can start restoring immediately without creating any large intermediate files.
Files Undelete
Access to batch mode: Do you want to set up scheduled file copying from an alternative file system or media? Would you like to periodically copy the locked log file for analysis? UFS Explorer has a version for command line- Batch edition.
Based on specially prepared scripts, it can open any supported file system and copy any files from there.
The Batch edition works from the command line, and can also be built into a batch job.

Question: Seagate ST2000DL003 write and read speed drops sharply
Good afternoon
The problem is this:
There are 2 HDDs
both Seagate ST2000DL003, bought at different times and in different stores
Used as HD video storage. The last time I connected to the computer was 1 year ago.
Now I bought a 4 TB disk and wanted to merge all the videos onto it and a problem was discovered.
When copying, the speed eventually starts to drop to 2 mb per second. Although most of it is copied at a speed of 60 mb / s. I checked the recording, the same recording speed starts at 120 mb, most of it goes to 50 mb and at some point drops to 2.
As I said, these are not small files. All files larger than 2 GB.
Copying from other disks works fine. Tried formatting, didn't help.
The firmware is the latest.
Here is a review
Help me figure out what's going on!
Thank you very much!
Answer: And if you try to copy using - what speed will it show at the beginning and at the end of copying the file?
Question: The machine slows down when copying files
Good afternoon!

It is good for everyone, but when you turn to the screw, there are simply terrible brakes. If, for example, you copy a 1.5GB file from C:\ to D:\, then it starts "briskly" (the speed is first, for example, 30 MB / s), then it copies in some jerks and, as a result, the speed or even drops to zero and then jumps up, or hangs around 3-5 Mb / s. If something big is written, then you can go drink tea because the brakes are such that it is impossible to work
Real-time antivirus is disabled, I think it's out of business.
I have suspicions that this is due to the specific Win 2012 server system. Relatives refused to install it. At first I tried to put it in compatibility modes for the seven and eight, in the end everything I could - set it manually through device manager-> Right click on the item, "Update Driver Software", and pointed to the folder with firewood. Of the disk controllers, two were installed, but the rest show the driver version of 2006, maybe this is the case
What to do with it? Is it possible to somehow "deceive the firewood" so that they consider Win 2012 the "Server Eight" (in fact, this is it)?
upd.: if you look at the properties of this ATA Channel 0, you can find this:

freedaw Thank you, by the way, for the good advice! I didn't think about it myself..
Helped a lot Ment69 from the oszone forum, and enable AHCI driver.
The speed has ceased to "sag" and hangs between 20-30 Mb / s and above a hundred, and finally it has stopped lagging!). and finally you can copy files and do something else at the same time without a slideshow
I’ll leave it for Win 8 and 2012 (note that for other OSes, the keys will be different, google it)
Question: Tell me what program can I reflash a flash drive? I can't find it in the settings
Please give professional advice on how to restore a Chinese flash drive using the Ameco MW6208E 8208 1.2.1.0 090928 program (or some other). It seems that all the controller parameters and numbers are suitable. But the program does not see the flash drive. apply. I don't understand how to use it. The USB flash drive was pulled out of the port during copying (without safe extraction). After that, it writes "Write protected" and is not formatted by any program. to your forum. HELP! Thank you in advance. The volume is -500 GB. Now the letter of the flash drive on Win7 is not detected (it just writes "disk drive). Neither the size nor the drive letter. On the computer: Administration-> computer management -> disk management, the disk is visible (the size and it says that it is working ).On the XP flash drive, it is also visible with a letter. Whatever I did, it crashes "the disk is write-protected!" !
Answer: Thanks, I read the topic, only there are a few nuances: firstly, I tried my flash drive on another radio tape recorder the same garbage. Second, I tried an 8 GB flash drive. at the root of which there were about 100 songs and in another folder in which there were about 600 songs, it works fine. Thirdly, I tried another flash drive (albeit a microSD with an adapter), also 16 GB. and threw it in the same way as on my own and it works fine on my radio and on another and finally the fourth one when I throw 3 folders on my own with an average of 450 songs each and when I pull it out from the laptop and immediately insert it in just a couple of seconds then in the first folder everything is fine as many songs as you need, and the second and third folders are empty, when I check the size of the folders it's a little less than 4GB. and I check the employment of the flash drive, then the properties write that it is full
Question: Heating a USB 3.0 flash drive
Hello forumites! I have this problem: I have a SanDisc Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive; she is literally a couple of days old (a gift for NG17, by the way, congratulations to everyone !!) and when signing up for her until a certain moment the speed is ~ 60Mb / s, and then it drops to 20-18Mb / s and the flash drive becomes fiery in the literal sense, when you try to pull out your fingers get burned. There is also an external screw 3.0, but the block of ports from it certainly heats up, but not so much. So the question itself is, is this a normal phenomenon or is it necessary to look for the cause until the flash has melted, and the speed drop is associated with heating or not?
Answer: I have a flash drive for 2 years. When exchanging data, it also gets quite hot, of course, you can’t burn your hands, but the metal usb itself becomes quite hot. Works stably. so you can exchange it in the store and see if it's okay for this flash drive.
Question: acer 5738z (jv50-mv) Hangs when reading from a usb flash drive
Hangs when reading from a usb flash drive, as well as from the built-in card reader. And in safe mode- Reading goes well. At least I installed Windows from a flash drive. The south is slightly warm. Other usb devices are working fine.
Answer: Reinstalled the system. Installed 32 bit. And finally found why it hangs. Files are normally recorded from a flash drive only when there is no video playback! If you put on video playback, then copying the file from the USB flash drive is suspended. The flash drive just crashes. Sometimes the computer freezes. Can't figure out how video playback affects usb?
When a user starts copying files to a flash drive, sometimes you will notice that the copy speed is rather low. In modern Windows versions it is usually shown as a graph and a numeric value. My speed usually reaches up to 6-7 Mb / s, and often jumps up and down. In case of problems, the speed can be no higher than 600 Kb / s, or somewhere in these values. For a normal flash drive, this indicator is unacceptable.
Let's look at the causes of this phenomenon and try to understand the solution to the problem.
Flash drive properties
When using a flash drive purchased for 200 rubles, you will not see high read and write speeds. This suggests that no matter what port you use on the computer, the increase may not occur. You can try to use the program and check top speed flash drives. It can be used to test hard drives and SSD. The results will show exactly the maximum speed, which can be very different from what is written on the box. You should not count on more.
Using Hi-Speed USB Ports
If your laptop has a couple of USB 3.0 ports, then you should definitely use them. Usually, if you connect a device to a low-speed port, the system informs you about it with a notification. If you have connected a flash drive that has USB capabilities 3.0 port to a 2.0 port, you should not expect fast speeds.
In the case of a desktop computer, you can try plugging the flash drive into the back of the system unit.
Also, an extension cord can also limit the copy speed. The longer it is, the slower the speed.
Poor computer performance
If you are still using old equipment, which is 7-8 years old, and the characteristics random access memory and hard drive expect much to be desired, then only a PC upgrade will help to increase the speed of reading a record on a flash drive.
Crooked Drivers
If you just inserted a brand new flash drive, the installation of the controller drivers will immediately begin. If they don't fit right, then expect a slow write read speed. In this case, the only option would be .
Still need to update drivers system board if you haven't already. You can download the necessary from the official website of the manufacturer of your board, or using special programs, such as DriverMax, DriverPack Solution or SlimDrivers.
To reinstall the USB controller drivers, you need to go to the device manager. This can be done as follows: click right click mouse on the Start menu and select the appropriate item. You can also press Win + R and enter the command devmgmt.msc.
We find the section "USB Controllers", open it and remove the drivers for the following devices - "Root USB Hub" and "Extensible Host Controller...".
After deleting, click the "Action" tab at the top and select the item "Update hardware configuration".
The remote drivers should install automatically.
Programs to increase the speed of reading write flash drives
In the presence of good computer with performance characteristics, but with a flash drive that has low copy rates, you are unlikely to be able to greatly increase the speed by using utilities.
If you are copying many small files, then in order for them to be copied many times faster, you need to put them in an archive.
The program will help to slightly increase the copying process. Free and with simple interface it will help you to slightly increase the speed of copying. If copying fails, you can continue from where you left off.
OK it's all over Now. Maybe you have more options for answering the question why files are slowly copied to a USB flash drive?
Modern USB drives are one of the most popular external storage media. An important role in this is also played by the speed of writing and reading data. However, capacious, but slow-working flash drives are not very convenient, so today we will tell you what methods can be used to increase the speed of a flash drive.
The first thing to note is the reasons why the speed of a flash drive may decrease. These include:
- NAND wear;
- discrepancy between the standards of the input and output USB connectors;
- problems with the file system;
- incorrectly configured BIOS;
- viral infection.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to fix the situation with worn out chips - it is best to copy the data from such a flash drive, purchase a new one and transfer the information to it. It is also worth considering the origin of such a drive - flash drives from little-known manufacturers from China may turn out to be of low quality with very short term services. The rest of the reasons described can be tried to eliminate on your own.
Method 1: Check for virus infection and eliminate it
Viruses are the most common cause flash drive slowdown. Most types of malware create a bunch of small hidden files on the flash drive, which significantly reduces the speed of access to normal data. To deal with the problem once and for all, it is worth cleaning the flash drive from existing viruses and protecting it from subsequent infection.
Method 2: Connecting a flash drive to a higher speed port
The USB 1.1 standard, adopted almost 20 years ago, is still common today. It provides a very low data transfer rate, which makes the flash drive seem to work slowly. As a rule, Windows reports that the drive is connected to a slow connector.
You can also get a message about slow operation by connecting a USB flash drive USB standard 3.0 to the now most common USB 2.0. In this case, the recommendations are the same. If all the connectors on your PC or laptop are 2.0 standard, then the only solution to the problem is to update hardware. However, some motherboards (both desktop and laptop) do not support USB 3.0 at the hardware level.
Method 3: Change the file system
Method 4: Changing the settings for working with a flash drive
In modern Windows variants The USB flash drive is in operation quick removal, which gives certain advantages for the safety of data, but also slows down the speed of access to them. The mode can be switched.
The only drawback of this method is the dependence of the flash drive on « Safe extraction» . However, for most users, using this shutdown option is rather the norm, so this drawback can be neglected.
Method 5: Change the BIOS configuration
Flash drives have been around for a long time, and modern PCs and laptops are not always compatible with older flash drives. There is a corresponding setting in BIOS, which is useless for modern drives, and only slows down access to them. To disable this setting, do the following:
We have considered the most common causes of a drop in the speed of flash drives and solutions to this problem. However, if you have more options, we'd love to hear them in the comments.
How to solve the problem with slow copying data to a flash drive?
Consider the common causes of this problem and talk about ways to solve it.
1. Flash drive performance
If everything is in order with the computer, the culprit of the slow process of transferring files to a USB flash drive, respectively, is the latter. Budget flash drives, as a rule, cannot boast of an impressive data writing speed. And the speed is 5-7 Mb / s at the interface USB connections 2.0 for those may be commonplace. You can test the data write speed of a flash drive using Windows hard drive speed testing programs, in particular, using the popular CrystalDiskMark utility. More than the speed that the flash drive tests will show, you should not expect it in practice.
2. Computer USB ports
Purchased for faster data logging usb flash drive 3.0 will work exactly the same as a USB 2.0 flash drive, as long as the interface is supported by the computer and USB 3.0 is not. The flash drive will limit the speed of the port. To get performance when copying data USB interface 3.0, they must be equipped with the USB ports of the computer. The same applies to situations where USB stick 3.0 or 2.0 connects to the USB 1.0 port. The fact that the USB flash drive is connected to a low-speed USB 1.0 port, Windows, as a rule, immediately reports system notification: They say that this device can work faster if it connects to a USB 2.0 port.
If data is slowly copied to a flash drive that is connected to the USB port on the front of the PC case, you can test its performance by connecting to the motherboard USB ports on the back of the case. It may be that USB 2.0 or 1.0 ports are displayed on the front panel of the case, while the motherboard ports provide USB 3.0 or 2.0 interfaces.
Like USB ports, which limit their ability to write data, USB extenders can limit the speed of file copying. If the USB extension cable provides a USB 2.0 interface, it will throughput will limit the speed of the USB 3.0 interface of the flash drive and the USB port of the computer.
3. Weak computer hardware
on old or budget models computers, slow data writing to a USB flash drive may be due to weak hardware stuffing, in particular, a small amount of RAM or slow hard drive. In this case, only upgrading the computer will help.
4. Drivers
Slow copying data to a USB flash drive may be the result of incorrect installed drivers USB. In this case, you can either update the motherboard drivers or reinstall the USB controller drivers. You can update the motherboard drivers manually by downloading the necessary installers from the official website of the board or laptop, or you can entrust this matter to special programs - driver installation managers. Among them: DriverMax, Auslogics Driver Updater, SlimDrivers, Advanced Driver Updater, etc.
To reinstall USB drivers-controllers open the dispatcher Windows devices, expand the branch "USB Controllers" and using the "Delete" option in context menu each of the devices in the list, delete its driver.
USB controller drivers will be installed automatically.
5. BIOS settings
In some cases, the slow speed of writing data to a USB flash drive may be due to the speed limit of USB ports in the BIOS settings. Such a limitation should be looked for, as a rule, in the advanced section. BIOS settings"Advanced". If the value "Low-speed" is opposite the "USB 2.0 Controller Mode" parameter, it must be changed to "Hi-speed".
6. How to speed up writing data to a USB flash drive using software
If the cause of the problem lies in the low speed of writing data to the flash drive itself, alas, it will not be possible to significantly speed up the process of copying files to it. Even if we have a productive computer. By software the speed of writing files can be increased only slightly.
If you need to copy several small files to a USB flash drive, it is better to combine them into one archive file. And put this archive file on the USB flash drive. One hefty file will be copied faster than a mass of small ones. By the way, when copying small files, even productive USB drives can “sag”.
You can slightly speed up the transfer of files to a USB flash drive with the help of special programs that outperform regular Windows copy tools with some share of performance due to their own data copy algorithms. One of these is WinMend File Copy, it can be downloaded for free from the website of the creators www.winmend.com/file-copy.
WinMend File Copy has a Russian-language interface, supports batch copying of files, buffer settings, as well as resuming data transfer from the place of the break.
