My Vibrant is topping off at about 12 MB/sec. I've tried several cables and USB ports on my PC. I've also tried with an external hard drive I have that tops off at 60 MB/sec. I thought my Vibrant would be faster at transferring media from my PC.

You are limited by the writing speed of the Internal SD card (hard drive in your phone) which from what I have read is about 13 MB/sec, so you are not very far off.
For reference, the stock External MicroSD card writes at 4 MB/sec so that's the limit of your USB transfer speed when moving file to the external SD card.
Now your external hard drive support write speed much faster than 13 MB/sec, which again is why you see your writing speed top off at 60 MB/sec.
Your Vibrant is designed on the principle of sacrificing speed for portability and durability. The Solid State chips in your vibrant has no moving parts thus, it will not break easily from constant movements. Desktop harddrive usually sits in one location thus can trade durability for speed.
Thank you Sir. I was hoping your answer would be something along those lines to disprove my theory that there was something wrong with my computer.

Hi everyone, I've really been looking at the Cingular 3125 as my next phone but have some concerns over the USB speeds. As stated on the fact sheet, the unit is only USB 1.1. I'll be doing numerous xfers of music and video and am wondering how others cope with the potential slow speed of USB 1.1. Is it really that bad? How often do you take apart everything to mount the miniSD in a reader? Why would they put 1.1 in such a new device when USB 2.0 has been around for ages?
Thanks.
well. I think that usb w needs more power and usb 1 is probably cheaper.
You can solve the speed problem partially by using the tool called wmstorage it can be found at www.modaco.com. free of charge. this tool makes your micro sd card while inside the phone a removable hdd. like a memory stick. that is faster file transfer then via AS. also the new version of AS 4.5 BETA supposed to have a faster file transfer capabilities.
For the rest I love the phone. it is a real beauty.
when i connect the phone to the laptop with the USB cable and try to transfer files to the SD card (8GB) the transfer rate is pretty slow
but when i take the SD card out and put it in USB adapter the transfer is very very! fast!! why is this diffrent? is there any solotion?
Yes, its allways very slow, on all telephones on the market! You mustlive with it, but i think, you can wait 5 minutes and you dont transfer 8 Gb 2 times a day...
no that's not true. In winmo file transfers @ the same rate as usb (might be a little bit lesser, but that's not noticable).

I think it depends on the hardware, as on my current HP iPAQ 910c (running Windows Mobile 6.1) transferring via USB cable is far slower than transferring directly to the SD card through an SD card reader. I remember trying to transfer a few GB of MP3s via USB, and it was going to take 2+ hours, but only took a few minutes using a card reader.
I have purchased highly reccomended joyflash 16gb, its indeed fast 14MB/s write 20MB/s read..only problem is that when phone connected over USB as mass storage, transfer speed (writing) is only around 4 MB/s and reading is 14MB/s. Both from internal memory and external SD. Anyone idea why is that? Is that a limitation of Samsungs USB interface?
I did testing with SDtools on my device when testing speed of microSD, for transfer speeds over the USB cable i have used total commander
Hey all, just started using ADB to push some video files directly to the internal file system. Noticed that the transfer speed is like 2.3 MB/s which in my opinion is pretty pitiful. Is the Nook Tablet's cable like USB 1.0 or something?
The video files are like 300-350 mb's each if that matters...
Just as another question to throw out there:
If I used a Micro USB to USB A cable certified for USB 2.0, would that enhance transfer speeds or would it not matter and simply depend on the internal storage's read/write speed?
Hi, today i bought a 128GB microSD card (Samsung Evo Plus) and detected properly by S3. However during file transfer from PC through explorer to MicroSD I got a miserable 100kB/s speed. Yes, it is kB not MB. The MicroSD card should write at max 90MB/s.
I used to get around 30MB/s when transfer to internal storage.
What could be the problem?
Internal transfer from Internal storage to MicroSD card is around 25MB/s
File copied is single movie file 8GB. USB setting is File Transfer.
Regards,
Thanks.
Erm, i am not sure what happened, i changed cable and still getting slow speed. After disconnected from USB cable for a while and do other things, and reconnect again, I am getting around the same speed as internal storage 32MB/s. Really have no idea why i am getting slow speed before this.
