Fast Flash Drive Recommendations? (X-post from Computer Help and Support) |
|
I sometimes need to move stuff back and forth between home and work
Tried this yesterday with about 3.5 GB of data on a 4 GB flash. Writing at home took about 15 min. Got to work and set out to copy the files onto my work HD. The estimated time for the read/copy was about 4 hours. Ouch!

1. I frequently use a flash drive like a briefcase |

I've noted the same phenomenon as you ...... but almost always, the transfer time reduces dramatically once it starts to transfer. I think the issue is the bit of the program that estimates the download before it starts.
