When inserted into my laptop the average writing speed is about 6mb/s
When inserted into my Vibrant - the average is about 2mb/s
Why such a huge difference, is there any way to improve the speed ?

Hey all.
Does anyone have any tips to improve file transfer speeds. I recently bought a 2gig memory card and have been loading it with mp3s but it's painfully slow.
I thought WM5/activesync 4 was usb 2.0 compatible, but my transfer speeds are only 3Mbps which seems very slow.
Is this the same for everyone or do I have a problem of some sort
Thanks
Use a card reader or the software card export.

Hey there!
It's come to my attention that my XDA Mini S is horrifically slow at saving office documents to the storage card... I bought a 2GB storage card recently that seems to be working fine, apart from this little issue.
It would take up to half a minute or more for example, to save a 47kb pocket word document. When I do the same editing with a file on the internal memory it can be near instantaneous. With Excel it's even worse!
I tested the read/write speed of the card and it came out with a read speed of about 7.0x and a write speed of... something like 0.02x??
That's horrifically slow! A friend's card scored 5x and 2x respectively. However writing to the card normally doesn't seem to be so sluggish either, using the PC (with MiniSD<>SD adaptor) or the phone itself.
Any ideas??
Hi. I've benchmarked my class 2 SD card with several different benchmark programs (both android and pc) and they all return the same result: read - 1.5 mb/s and write - 5 mb/s. Is this normal?
You might be experiencing what is called write caching.
This would lead to display of higher speeds with small amounts of data.
Try copying a large file - 2GB or more, for instance - and you will see that it will stabilize around your actual write speed at some point. It might still be 5MB/s as the Class 2 of your SD card guarantees minimum speeds, not maximum
It's not quite as daft as it sounds this. When I briefly had a S5 and was trying to speed the thing up I ran a tester app which showed my SD card was capable of faster data transfers than "internal SD." Now I don't know if the note 3 has the same sort of setup but would an app be slower on the external SD as you'd expect, or if there's an advantage to moving stuff to SD aside from making more room for stuff.

It's generally faster on internal memory due to the lag of retrieval from external but not sure now with these new high speed cards. Would depend if the hardware on the Note 3 has the ability to utilise the actual speed of the sd card and the type of formatting the sd card has....
Hi all,
What's the maximum speed the Note 3 can read and write to its expanded micro sd card?
As just got a Samsung 64Gb Pro and I'm only getting 20mb/sec read and write. The card is supposedly be 90/80 read/write.
Thanks

Reading should be fine... but writing seem to max out 20mb/s - so you're getting the average/max speed, but you will notice the file type and size will have impact on speeds. I've seen upto 34mb/s on some mp3 or image files, but otherwise speeds hover around 20.
Wish knew that before right? Could have saved some money on getting a slightly slower sd card, but if you use a good card reader (yeah you have to remove the sd card) you will get your max speeds.
