Copying files takes a long time?

Hello,

Today I'm having trouble copying a 1.23 GB file to another folder. I thought it would be relatively quick, but unfortunately, I then saw that I was getting 355 KB per second. It says it will take 3 hours to complete the copying… (I have to copy it to a USB stick)

I don't think it was ever like this before, can someone please help me?

I need to copy it into a USB stick

You got vmtl a USB 2.0 stick or USB 2.0 port. This naturally slows down the whole.

Can you call more information about your case? Is it on the same device? What’s that stick? What’s your operating system? … You save very much…

Did you care to choose a USB 3.0 port or higher?

Does the USB stick support USB 3.0 or even higher?

By using another connection on the motherboard – if there is the one, USB 3.0 is usually colored for example blue – and using a USB stick that supports a higher version – this is not always easy to recognize when you no longer have the packaging.

This is poured into hardware and can be increased via programs or so. Either the hardware can get the transmission speed or not.

This is the “Version” and thus links the maximum transmission speed. See

So that’s the Zip datei. Because that’s just a compressed folder. So he still copies each file individually. Probably there are very many small files in there and then it’s normal that he only writes so slowly as he has to retrieve another file every time. To test another file that is big but actually only one file is on the USB stick. Maybe an ISO file.

A Zip file is a file and is copied as a file, regardless of how many files are packed into the zip file. Unless it is “opened” and files are copied individually. Then it is no longer language of “copying a zip file”.
