Hello doonsMonk,

 

The v250w is a USB 2.0 pen drive. An x750w is the USB 3.0 version.

 

You didnt mention if those speed ratings were the same exact files being copied to both? Are both drives formatted the same? Did you try different slots on the computer and have you tried the same test of the same files on a different computer for a comparison?

 

That way, if both are just as fast on another computer, then the driver could possibly be the issue and just needs to be reinstalled.

Otherwise if its still slow on all computers, then the best thing to do is get it replaced if its still under warranty.

 

You could try the Clean All command from the CMD prompt to zero out the entire drive and then reformat.

But its only a small chance that it will fix the problem.

 

If its still slow after Cleanng it and reinstalling the driver,  Its a bad/slow drive and you should replace it.

Hi Photoray002,

 

Yes the two pendrives are same  , both are hp v250w 8gb pendrives .

 

I am trying to copy same file on both drives ,a movie mp4 file of 700 MB.

 

I formatted both pendrives same way, the long format with FAT32 filesystem.

 

My laptop has 3 3.0USB ports ,i have tried on all ports.

 

One pendrive is 2 years old , transfer speed 7MBPS.

 

One pendrive is 1 month old, transfer speed 2MBPS.

 

I will be taking second pendrive to hp service center soon but i thought if i can resolve it online then it will be good.

 

Thanks

OK then, you can try out the fixes I outlined if you want.

But if you get an opportunity to, upgrade to the USB 3 drive.

You will be much happier with that speed.

 

Good luck.
