Copying to USB stick frustratingly slow.

He folks, strange issue here. About an hour ago I started copying around 16GB of files from an UnRaid share to a USB stick mounted using the Unassigned Devices plugin. I'm copying using MC. Initially the copy zipped along nicely at 80MB/s and I had 7 of the 10 files completed within 10 minutes. I'm now sat at over an hour and the copy has slowed to 500 kB/s and my UnRaid server has virtually frozen, the UI takes around 5 minutes to load and all my dockers are unresponsive.

 

Any ideas?

Still getting this issue. Just tried to transfer a load of movie's via MC on to a USB stick mounted via Unassigned Devices. Started off quickly put eventually ended up at around 300kB/s. This issue is really beginning to annoy me, lol. There is some strange stuff in my log...

Have tried copying across the network to that USB drive plugged into your desktop? This would begin to isolate the problem a bit. (Flash drives will go bad...)

 

Here is an table from Tom's Hardware about write speeds to USB3 flash drives.  Note that they are not all created equal!

 

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/usb-3.0-thumb-drives-2013/-02-CrystalDiskMark-3.0-x64,3241.html

 

With UBS2 Flash Drives, the network will not be the limiting factor.
