Long 5 Second Wait
For years I copied movies to DVD's but with everything streaming now I download a movie and transfer it to a thumb drive so to watch on TV. When transferring from computer to thumb drive it loads fast until it say five seconds remaining that five seconds can take over five minutes to finish loading.
Does anyone know what the bottleneck could be, it doesn't matter if I'm using a new formatted drive or a drive with other movies on it? |

That's a caching thing and a combination of how your operating system, the driver and the hardware handles data transfers.
A faster thumb drive and/or faster USB port on your computer would reduce the effect, up to the point where you don't notice it anymore, but the same thing would still happen in the background. It's a conceptual thing. That's the short answer. Let me know if you're interested in the longer, more techy answer |

I do have a couple of 3.0 USB slots but I'm not sure what the USB drives are or if even a 3.0 drive would work with my TV's. Thanks for your answer DarkRaven, but I'll pass on the techy answer I'm getting to old for this shit.

The only limitations for USB drive support are typically drive size or how the drive is formatted. The drive being USB2 or USB3 won't matter. USB3 is backwards compatible, it simply won't transfer at USB3 speeds when attached to a USB2 port.
