Default slow card trasfer.. crazy slow..

was trying to get a faster transfer rate from my memory card. 3.5mb/s insteading turning me on.. although it is compared to whats in the image below. lol. i formatted the card to NTFS rather then FAT32, and it peaked to 30mb/s going to the card, then flatened out to 15mb/s the card only has 15mb/s on the sticker.. not sure how it got to 30mb/s but anyway. however going back to the computer, the important speed.. well ill let you decided how that went.

I know patience is a virtue. . . but at that speed, you might as well shoot film.

Do a Low level format on your card that should help speed it up. At least that what my manual says to do when your card speed get slow.
