Heaven Angel Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) okay ...wont store on dropbox...i thought it will be faster with some new kinda of technology but it still same . Technology has advanced. We have 100-1000 MB ports. You have to advance and get better internet. Also, technology can only increase speed and add new methods, but it'll take same equal amount of bandwidth. (i.e, size transferred = bandwidth used) Thanks will do the partition...btw is exfat same as fat32?? i tried to rightclik and do quick format but it did not show fat32 but exfat . exFAT is the successor of the old FAT32 file system. Since you can't create a FAT32 partition greater than 32 gigabytes (GB) or store a file larger than 4 GB on a FAT32 partition, you have exFAT option, you don't have FAT32 option. Try running the command "format x: /fs:fat32". It should do the job. Isn't USB 3 capable of 5gb. Its this one it even mentions it: Experience blazing speeds with the USB 3.0 interface that lets you transfer data at up to 5 Gbps while the USB 2.0 interface transfers data at a maximum of 480 Mbps. It's not your write/read speed. It's max USB 3.0 bitrate (5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s)) one can achieve. Samsung SSD 850 Pro has 550/520 MB/s write/read speed. Your max write speed will be 70-75 MB/s.

Will ps3 recognize exfat?? any idea... also about write read speed...click on the link...it clearly mentions as one of the features of this particular hdd. 5 Gbps USB 3.0 480 Mbps USB 2.0 Experience blazing speeds with the USB 3.0 interface that lets you transfer data at up to 5 Gbps while the USB 2.0 interface transfers data at a maximum of 480 Mbps.

Heaven Angel Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 5 Gbit/s (which is 625 MB/s) is USB 3.0's bitrate. That's how you market. You can't achieve that amount of speed with HDD. Your drive RPM is 5400. So max 70-75 MB/s. Will ps3 recognize exfat?? any idea... No. You need FAT32. Use run command or 3rd party software to make partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Experience blazing speeds with the USB 3.0 interface that lets you transfer data at up to 5 Gbps while the USB 2.0 interface transfers data at a maximum of 480 Mbps. I also need to format about 250gb file in fat32 ..because PS3 does not read ntfs file...how do i make just 250gb fat 32 out of 931 gb?? That is the theoretical peak performance of the drive. Generally because of real life being what it is, this gets reduced to nominal rates of ~50-150 MB/s dependent on the situation and interfaces used and the performance of individual components of the system . Will ps3 recognize exfat?? any idea... Higher chances of that not happening. Anyway, why do you want to format the device with FAT32 file-system. Makes the whole purchase moot.

ALPHA17 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 ^ As I said, it will be dependent on a lot of variables Mohit. Getting stable ~50MB/s is decent when transferring from a mechanical drive to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
