Speeding up the transfer process of pen drives

Asked By Thomas K Renteria 30 points N/A Posted on - 02/18/2015

I often work with databases and have a constant need to back up data whenever possible. I am often force to use pen drives and the transfer speed is a big issue for me. Is there a way to speed up the transfer rate for pen drives? I know that SSD and external hard drive are faster but I have to think of portability at the end of the day.

Speeding up the transfer process of pen drives

There is no such solution or software for this issue. Atmost , you can try following methods to make it work better

1. If the device is very old, replace it with a new one.

2. Format it everytime you finish your work, this will clear all the viruses or error files from the device.

3. Try buying a pen drive with USB version 2.0, as it is the latest one and gives a speed of 35 mbps.
