I am currently transferring a folder to a USB drive. For the last few minutes, it has quite literally been transferring at LESS THAN 1 kb/s... we're talking 10-500 bytes/s..
How is it possible for anything to transfer this slowly and how can it be fixed?
Most certainly not a Windows 10 problem. Happens often when you copy a lot of small files. This is due to random read/write performance bottlenecks. This is somewhat alleviated by SSDs, but still an issue.
Try copying a couple of large files from the same source to the same target. Should be way faster. If not, there could be a problem with either your source or target drive.
