I'm getting extremely slow USB transfer speeds with Ubuntu 14.04. I have a new USB 3.0 Stick and I'm getting transfer rates of about 0.5 Mb/s. I discovered through this site that this is a common issue with ubuntu users and tried some of the suggestions (like deactivating the "sync" option when mounting) but none of them seemed to help. I'm still asking this question because the solutions (if there were any) to the other questions (e.g. this question or that question) seemed very specific to me, so maybe there is still hope. As I'm a total noob, I have no idea what kind of information might be helpful to you, so please tell me what you need to know.
Not sure if this is relevant, but the data I wanted to copy originated from a Win7-system.
Edit: As requested, the output of lsusb

The USB Stick is a PNY 64 GB USB 3.0

would be a good start, as well as the make and model of the USB stick. Also, what "other questions"?
