Is it really this slow? Or is something wrong here?
I just sent 700MB to my pendrive and it took 2min, now I'm sending two MP3 files of about 100MB each and it's gonna take more than 10min.
The copy via windows explorer is really that slow? Is there any software I can use to speed that up?
Now I'm using Winamp to transfer the files and it's still waaaaaaaaaaay slower than any transfer to a pendrive or my iPod.
Before someone asks: Yes, I'm using "File Transfer" mode.
It is slow comparing with a pendrive. The file transfer speed between PC and a SE phone using DCU-60 cable is about 0.1 MB/s, while a pendrive speed is about 5-20 MB/s(but it highly depending on pendrive type, so can be more or less).
I Agree Wit Simox And Further More The Origanal Sony M2 Card Transfers Files Around 1.0-1.5mbps While The Sandisk Or Some Low Quality Cards Transfer At 100-150kbps. So It Is Greatly Depends Upon The Card You Are Using.
Well, I wouldn't say 0.1MB/s. I saw transfers varying from 250 to 350KB/s on MyPhoneExplorer, with "Phone Mode", so I'm guessing it's a little more than that in "File Transfer" mode.Quote:

But, can you explain me WHY is that?
I have an original Sony M2. And I guess if I'm going to leave my ipod at home I'm gonna have to be more patient while transfering music to my new cell-phone/mp3-player. ;)Quote:

My card is Sony M2 1 GB :)
Well, u're lucky then. These are my results.

There were some peaks, but it remained 333 for most of the time.
In my situacion most of the time is 333/666 , but 1000 ot 1333 KB/s is moment speed , but I have and the best speed with Total copy -> 1666 KB/s.Quote:

are all sandisk cards of low quality? or would original sandisk cards have higher speeds compared to other "shady" cards?Quote:

No, can us and M2 USB adaptor:Quote:

thats nice =) m2 to usb :D it would be better if the m2 would insert totally in it and using it as a usb mem stick too.
I have a sandisk m2 1gb card and the copy from card to pc works slow too, its around 255kb/s maybe 300 sometimes as i remember. The original SE m2 card can be faster while using it with dcu-60 cable?
It's better to get Memory Stick Pro Duo usb adaptor.
I would like ask that the cards generally be quick?? M2 or Micro SD?
Ask just in connection with K850i... I don't know,what type come off, to had preferably what highest temporary carrier rate over usb.
Thank you behind counsel!!
The fastest way to copy something over to your phone (onto the memory card) is by using a USB2 capable card reader/writer.
I don't know if the SE phones are USB1 or USB2 capable, but it might explain the slow transfer speed if it's only USB1.
USB1 allows a maximum transfer speed of 12Mbps which is actually around 1.5Mb/s, whereas USB2 allows up to 480Mbps (~60Mb/s). However, of course this is also limited by the speed it's possible to write to the card at. I don't have any benchmarks for the performance of M2 memory cards, but memory cards produced by Sandisk are usually quite slow in my experience unless they are the 'Ultra' series.
I test now with M2 USB adaptor:Quote:

It is extrememly slow to transfer files from my phone via PC as well. Windows vista seems to hang also when attempting to copy content from the explorer window that is displaying the cellphone memory card contents.
Transfer are also slow with my W610i (300-500kB/s).
Despite the fact that the phone is USB 2.0 compatible, I notice that it sync at 12MBps (like USB 1.0).
I use a DCU-60 cable, I read that it is compatible with high transfer speed. Maybe a firmware issue ?
is it probably caused by the "number" of copying files (not "the size") ?Quote:
