Tranferring movies to my flash drive is a necessity -- I use my PC for torrenting, but I use my Mac for watching films. However, it takes incredibly long to transfer an 8gig movie to the flash drive.
Now, I keep these torrents on an external hard-drive and then transfer them to my flash drive, so perhaps it's going to be slow no matter what I do, but I hope not, and I hope you guys can help me figure out how to make it faster.
1) Idk how to figure out which of my usb ports is 2.0. I think it's the ones in the back but I'm not sure. I have emachines et 1331-02.
2) Idk how to find the USB 2.0 drivers, or find out if I already have them.
3) I've already followed the advice that you find by googling "make flash drive transfers faster" -- I've formatted it NFTS, gone into Policies and made it Optimized for Performance.
Any help would be appreciated. It's transferring at only like 3 - 5 MB/s, and with 8gig files that takes forever.
