Dell 1720 slow USB copy

Ok I have already searched and followed any possible solutions I have found but I still only get about 4-5mbps either copying files onto a USB OR copying onto an SD card.

Before I enabled advanced performance in Disk policies I was only getting about 500kb/sec after that I get 4-5MB/sec

but I'm still not happy with that. My friends inspiron 15 copied the same files at 12MB/sec onto the same SD CARD!!!! I know I should atleast be getting 10.

OS: vista HP 32
CPU:t5550 @ 1.8Ghz
RAM:3Gb DDR2
HDD:160Gb 5400rpm SATA?
GPU:8600mGt

Theres already a couple old threads like this on NBR and the solution was to enable performance in disk policies which has helped alot but not gotten me to 10 or 12 MB/sec

Ughh, USB drives in general are so many and so finicky. There can be any number of factors....

Have you recently reformatted or installed your OS? Do you have all the drivers installed? Perhaps a BIOS setting? I normally get at least 12Mbps

no, yes, couldnt find a BIOS settings.

Its much better now. Just downgraded (upgraded I think) to xp and honestly I notice a huge difference. Also In media player when skipping songs there isnt a 1 second delay between song changes its just instant now.
