Brand new Kingston Pen Drive going from 64 MB/s to 0 bytes/s

[Filip124]

I just bought a brand new Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 128gb Pen Drive and when i try to copy files it goes from 64 MB/s (sometimes more) to 0 bytes/s. Is there any way to make it not do that?

Thanks.

This is normal, is there any specific reason you are putting GTA V on a USB drive?

With my old USB drive it would constantly go at a certain speed not drop. No there's no reason just the first large thing that came to my mind, and no i didn't get it from the epic games store.

The G3 is kind of slow on writes in general. That however looks like the device is defective, had the same issue on a corsair model as well, RMA it or have it replaced locally if it's new.

I've had a few USB drives that do that when transferring large file folders, they drop down to 0 for a few seconds when transitioning from file to file. Especially if it's a small to large file.

I was at my friends house and wanted to transfer alot of FS19 mods so we could play mulitplayer with mods. We played around for about 2 hours and when we came back it was on 52% and that was 30 GB. GTA V is 88 GB and it transfers faster.

Smaller files or more of them will take longer to calculate and transfer. Packing all those mods in a zip file (non compressed) would increase the transfer speed. Personally I prefer an external SSD inside a USB 3 2.5 inch case. I get 250 MB/s average when transferring my mod library, which is almost 200 gigs in size at the moment.
