you can try using a programme called teracopy to see if it helps-

Teracopy is useful for sequential file transfers.. And works better with bigger files.. They have a nice set of options like queuing and pause resume etc.. It will be useful no doubt.. But you better test your transfer speed through a software.. What is the transfer speed that you get?
Just try it with different USB ports. If it still under-performs, then the above specified link will come into play.
i'm already using tera copy pro
i get arounf 5-6 MBps write speed
already using
will surely try that
5-6 MBPs is ok for a kingston drive, read should a bit higher, but write is ok.
but earlier it used to give much better transfer speed
What model?but earlier it used to give much better transfer speed
data traveler 120
Test yourself and compare, the link of the tool is given on that page: USB Flash Drive Speed Tests - VID = 951 (Kingston Technology), PID = 1623
5.76mbps is average write speed of data traveler 120. USB Flash Drive Speed Tests - VID = 951 (Kingston Technology), PID = 1623

Did you format the pendrive to FAT32? If yes, that might be the culprit.
Always use pen drive in NTFS format for better speeds.

Tried both, NTFS and FAT32, still I get only 4mbs max!!!
The worst is it's a damn new pendrive.
Is it fake??
Pls somebody help me out so that I can ask for replacement or refund.
Can you test the read write speed using this tool?

I bought it from Ebay, will I get my refund If I apply in "Ebay Guarantee*"?
This is the issue, something is wrong with the controller, pen drives get same min max speed, always, from start to finish.
No, ebay guarantee is not applicable here.
You need to take it to kingston service center, to get it replaced: Kingston Technology Company - Support - Authorized Service Centers
Buddy, it's Sony pendrive!!!
Oops, I just read the first post and assumed it was a kingston, anyway, take it to the Sony service center: Service Centres : Access Service Information : Support : Sony India
What should I say to them?(service center)
I'm really very thankful to ur replies and helping me.
Say its slow, very slow. And it started to happen recently.
Replied.
Thanks Tkin, I think this is one of the best experiences with Ebay. I got my full refund and I still have the product
It's a double bogey
