SD Card slow I/O

[Peter Henkel]

Is it normal to have such slow transfer speed on class 10 card? 30 minutes of copying music is a killer!

Depends on the SD card you have .
You have class 10 from 10 MB/s till 90 MB/s. Furthermore if you keep the card in your phone the speed also gets "topped" by your phone.
The fastest way to copy is get a 90 MB/s card and put it in a usb3 card reader.

And of course it depends how many Gigs you copy. And the file sizes.

For whatever reason or another, operations to the phone's storage or via the phone are pretty slow.

Pull out that card and toss it into a card reader, it'll be a lot speedier when the phone is taken out of the equation.

Well yes, but I don't have card reader and even if I did, there is no practical way to remove it.

But which brand usb card do you have?
And what's the spec of the card.
And how many gigs where you coping.

Or in other words get a card with a speed of around 50 or higher.

I don't think any speed will help since the phone is probably the bottleneck.

Yeah, phone is slow. I don't get it. You'd think in 2014 the phone will be fast enough to actually support class 10 card with 30 MBps transfer speed. But noooo, who needs that, right? Sheesh.
