@philinux, You can't buy a 15mb/sec usb stick. For all we know the slowness you are experiencing could be due to it being formatted as NTFS or just a slow flash drive. 3MB/s is the expected speed of a flash drive, anything more then that can likely be attributed to compression / caching / delayed write settings. (That's why the SDHC classes were introduced http://www.sakoman.com/OMAP/microsd-card-perfomance-test-results.html)
You said that windows was "about" 7MB/s and Linux was "about" 3MB/s You need to post the results of a disk benchmarking tool on the same drive from both OSes. (I have no recommendations for what windows benchmarking tool to use.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500069 Title: USB file transfer causes system freezes; ops take hours instead of minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/500069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
