SOLVED:- USB 3.0 speeds achievable?

[mike bellamy]

Hi. I have just tried to transfer from the s5 from the expanded memory card to a USB drive via the double connection on the phone along a supposed USB 3.0 OTG lead (6 inch). I only saw transfer rates between 9 and 10mb/s. It should be considerably quicker than that so does anyone know what's maybe the issue. Any help please!

Added.
I have rates of approx 28mb/s from USB to internal storage and approx 17mb/s from internal to USB. Still not very fast but better with not writing from a micro SD.

I think you need a UHS 3 Class microSD to get up to 30MB/s transfer speeds.

Here, refer to this:

Hi. Thanks for that and it makes sense yeah. My card is a class ten so 10mb/s transfer rates. I'll have to wait till the Kingston's come down in price or just live with the low rates. Nice one for the one post solution!
