Vista - Any fix for slow USB transfers yet?

Installed KB931770, didn't fix the problem.

Get 3 to 4x's faster transfer in xp. When I transfer files in vista to my usb memory stick, get around 195kb/s. VERY slow for usb 2.0



Any fixes yet?

Did you optimize the USB drive for performance? Are you connected through a
USB 2.0 interface? Do you need specific USB high speed drivers for your
particular high speed interface?

How do you optimize the usb drive? Yes, its usb 2.0. Don't believe I need drivers. The usb 2.0 hub is on the front of my pc, and I guess vista installed the drivers when I installed Vista.

Plug your USB Hub into a USB Port at the BACK(straight into your motherboard)
of your computer.
Front USB ports are slower.

Many front panel USB ports seem to run at a slower speed.

Optimize your USB drive for performance. Go to Computer | Properties |
Device manager | Disk Drives.

Double click on your drive and go to policies. Choose "optimize for
performance".

Bull****. Maybe with Fista.

Why wouldn't it be "optimized" out of the box. What kind of bull**** is
this?
