How to Increase The Speed of Pendrive for Faster Data Transfer

In this guide i will explain how to speed up pendrive, .We all familiar that the 

data transfer speed of Pendrive slow down after few days of purchasing.

Today I come with a trick or Jugaad to increase the speed of Pendrive for 

faster data transfer. In following small tutorial I will tell you how you can 

increase the speed of Pendrive for faster data transfer by changing some 

default settings.

A pen drive is a portable Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash memory device for 

storing and transferring audio, video, and data files from a computer.


What will we do to speedup Pendrive for faster data transfer

1.Check the Pendrive for errors.

2.Change the File System FAT to NTFS. 

3.Change the Device Policy.

Check the Pendrive for errors

I include this because the Errors in Pendrive system may also cause of slow 

down the speed of pendrive for data transfer.To perform this action follow 

below described steps.

Plug in Pendrive-->>Go to Pendrive properties-->>"Tools" Tab and click on 

-->>check now.

 Change the File System FAT to NTFS

In this step we will change the file system from FAT to NTFS because FAT can 

not handle large amount of data.For this action we will format the Pendrive 

using NTFS file system.Take backup of all your data from Pendrive because 

after formatting you will loose all your data in Pendrive.

Follow below steps-

Right click on pendrive>>Select Format>>In File system select NTFS

>>Uncheck Quick Format>>Click on Start.

 Change the Device Policy

Go to Pendrive Properties>>Click on "Hardware" tab>>Select your USB device 

and then click on Properties.

Now click on Change Settings in new dialog box

Now Click on "Policy" Tab>>Select Better Performance>>Click OK.

The above described method surely works but the Speed of Pendrive also 

depends on some other factors.

"How old is your pendrive","What type of Data you transfer and size of 

data","From where you copy the data(In same Drive the data transfer speed 

is high)" and "USB port version" are some factors on which the data transfer 

speed depends.
