What kind of speeds are we looking at? You should try copying those files over as well just to see. Copying data? Go for it.

I just ran a benchmark on my 16GB SanDisk Cruzer Blade G2, and here are the results.
I'm seeing about 1.9MB/s on reads when copying a 100MB file, while write speeds are hitting 20MB/s.

Here are the results for this old 8GB SanDisk Ultra.
I'm seeing an average read speed of 19MB/s, while copying a 100MB file only hits about 5.4MB/s.

Both of them copy smaller files even slower, though I'm not really sweating it...

Not trying to start a whole new thread here, but I need some advice.

I picked up this 16GB SanDisk Cruzer Blade G2 (http://www.google.com/us/usb/perso...siness#dt101g2)
and it is painfully slow when I try to move files onto it.
I'm averaging about 1.5MB/sec.

For comparison, my older 8GB SanDisk Ultra is lightyears ahead—it finishes the exact same file transfers four times faster than this G2.
I ran both tests on the same PC.

Is there any way to speed up this new 16GB drive, or is this entire series just notoriously sluggish?🤷

Benjamin King2 said:You should probably overclock that CPU to at least 3 GHz. It shouldn't be too hard since those chips handle overclocking quite well. That way, you can actually make use of the card fadedorca66 mentioned, or maybe grab an Nvidia GT 9600 or 9800.

Thanks, I'll try to overclock it. Or, I might just drop another 200 bucks$83 for a better processor...
What do you think?
Any recommendations from this list?😢http://www.gigabyte.com/support-down....aspx?pid=2669)

Benjamin King2 said:😁 You can't have two single-core processors on one board. Take a look and let me know which CPU you're running.

The CPU is an Intel Celeron E1400 @ 2.00GHz
with a 400W power supply.

Could use a little advice. Right now, I'm running an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT (256MB) on my PCI-E slot, but I want to be able to play some slightly newer titles—maybe stuff from 2 or 3 years ago like GTA 4—on medium to high settings.

What would be the best used graphics card I could pick up for around $300 $133?

The rest of my setup is running Windows 7 with a Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2L motherboard and 2GB of RAM. I'm not 100% sure which CPU I have, but I think it's just two single cores. I can double-check that tonight.
