USB Mass Storage File Copy Slowdown in Vista SP1 :-(

[Krazy_About_Technology]

Hey Guys,

Did anybody noticed that after upgrading to Vista SP1, overall file copy operations from hdd to hdd etc have been improved, but when you copy a bunch of files to a usb mass storage device like a pen drive, a memory card or an external usb hard disk, it takes a hell lot of time then windows xp. Even sometimes, copying only one file takes time.

Does anybody knows about any patches or workarounds available for this?

And plz only genuine replys, i dont want to know what you think of vista overall, i just want to find out solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance.

My usb copying speeds have in fact improved a lot after sp1.

Not really a patch or workaround as you have mentioned, but you can use Teracopy for this purpose.

Yeah Teracopy is a wonderful tool to be used in File copying.

I tried tera copy today, it just replaced the standard file copy dialog with advanced options too, but no increase in copying speed

well this issue is an inbuilt feature in vista..no patch for it yet..without which even a service pack has been released..too bad

I use tera copy too. It just fasten the speed from hdd to hdd........It does not affect the speed from cd ,pen drive to hdd...........

I well don't use vista....but If atleast 2(as replies) are experiencing improvement then there is some problem with u......first try with different pendrive and cd.......If it is with specific pen drive then it is ok but if u get problem with all devices and then try re-installing os and sp1 again......

wait for some more better reply or try this..........ur choice......
