1gb usb memory stick ezcool, really slow write speed
hi there
i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the ezcool usb memory stick. I picked one up for $30 from a computer store (1gb model) but have found the write speeds are incrediable slow. i have tried formatting the unit several times but this has not helped, i have also tried plugging the unit into several usb ports on my computer. my computer has a usb 2.0 card in it and i have previously used usb keys from other places (such as the dse 256mb usb key) and my psp and not experienced any slow transfer rates. The fastest write speed is supose to be 11mb/s for example to copy MobileFirefox1.5.0.4 16.8mb unzipped it took 4mins please let me know if this is unusal thanks nathan

psp and not experienced any slow transfer rates. The fastest write speed is supose to be 11mb/s If top speed is 11mb/s then it's a USB 1.1 device and you can expect it to be slow.

The speed is unusually slow; much slower than can be accounted for by running at USB 1 speed or with write cache disabled. nathan wrote: hi there i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the ezcool usb memory stick.

1gb usb memory stick ezcool, really slow write speed
If you buy really cheap RAM you may reasonably expect that it performed VERY
poorly during the manufacturer's quality assurance testing. That is why it is so slow and so cheap. -- DaveW ---------------- "nathan" wrote in message ups.com... hi there i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the ezcool usb memory stick.
