    Hey,
    I've just been transferring some files on my SD card and I was only getting 1mb/s, the card is 32gb class 10, which means minimum performance is 10mb/s, which it will achieve on another computer.
    Basically I'm wondering is there anything I can do to fix this problem because it's really annoying waiting for files.

    Thanks,
    Dillon.

    Edit: sorry for the bad spelling of transfer.

    maybe the card reader doesn't like your card, though unlikely.

    I get up to 4 MB/s on my crappy low class microsd card.

    Also, keep in mind that 10 MB/s is for large files. For hundreds of small files, it will be slow, like 1mb/s

    No these files are big, as I said it was transferring the same files at 13Mb/s on a desktop.
    Could it be a driver issue?
