I have a need to transfer almost 25 Gigabytes of files to another computer at a geographically different location once each week. All the files are located in a single tree structured directory system so it is easy to use Windows explorer to to just copy and paste the highest level folder to something like a USB flash or hard drive.
Using the machine in my signature, and a good quality flash drive (Corsair 32 GB), the maximum transfer rate is only around 11 MB/sec but averages closer to a dismal 8-9 MB/sec. This just takes much too long. Is this typical and reasonable for a USB 2.0 Flash drive? An external USB HDD does a little better and averages about 10 MB/sec.
