I have a laptop and a desktop computer both running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I have an issue:
When transfer files from/to USB drives, the speed looks good when the copy starts, but immediately afterwards the speed goes down till a less than 1MB/s. After that, I just stop the operation.
I noticed the above with both PCs but only with some USB sticks. In general the USB filesystem is FAT32
or NTFS
.
How can I solve this issue?
