    Also, large flash drives (128GB, 256GB) tend to be a LOT faster than small ones. And as the drive nears it’s capacity, write speeds will start to slow down dramatically.

      In this case it’s a 64GB datatraveler I bought a few years ago and I barely used.

      This is not a new issue, since I started to use linux I always experienced this very slow transfers, at first I blamed my old PCs but now I in this same computer running windows all flash drives were much faster than this.

      I tried to google for a solution, there are dozens of forum posts going back years, with as many solutions and workarounds, none of them seemed to be persistent.

        that is one of the small ssds they were talking about, that is not a flash drive. i dont have much advice but hopefully that will help you look for answers.

        edit: maybe not, that could just be the datatraveler max. there is quite a bit of specific information on datatravelers though.
