Microsoft Hotfix – KB2581464

Boosting USB Transfers
Have you ever noticed that sometimes you get very slow USB file transfer with your Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 machine?
Well, it seems Microsoft has received a pretty good bunch of complaints about this issue and decided to launch an hotfix for it.

So, this are the steps you need to follow to boost your USB transfers:
.: Download the hotfix: KB2581464

After downloading the hotfix, follow this additional steps:
.: Open registry editor (start –> run –> regedit)

.: Navigate to – HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbstor.: Create a new DWORD key called MaximumTransferLength
.: Change the key value to Decimal and write 2097120
Now, just restart the machine and try it yourself.
If this worked for you, please comment!
