Flash disk speed is very low

I just bought a 1GB Kingston flash disk, It's supposed be USB 2.0 but the copy speed is 2 MBps and doesn't go above 4 MB.

Any suggestion ?
 
Are you sure your computers drivers are up to date? The flash drive might be 2.0, but the USB ports in your computer may be 1.0
 
bump, I have a kingston flash drive and the speed is also very slow, noticably slower than my other flash drive. Anyone have any idea why?

Yes, It's enabled.
Sorry for the late reply, excuse my bad memory I forgot about this thread.

Have you also tried plugging it into a port on the back? The only thing I can think of that would cause a really noticable slow down would be if it's not actually on a USB2 port. I suppose the files could be small enough that it doesn't have time to get up to full speed as well, but I'm assuming you are transfering big enough files.

Have you enabled the high speed USB controller in the BIOS?

Woh Woh Woh Woh. Wait a second, I never knew there was such a thing in BIOS!!!!!!!!! How do you do this? This may solve me fudge bucket speeds on my flash drive!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
In the BIOS of a DS3 it is under Integrated Peripherals and is called USB 2.0 Controller. IIRC, with an AMI BIOS it is called High Speed USB Controller, I had to enable it on my old Asus board, I don't remember if my Gigabyte board had it enabled by default or not.
