File Transfer Speeds to Nano VERY SLOW...

(1/3) > >>

intellect:
First and foremost, I'd like to thank anyone / everyone involved in this project. Even for a n00b like me, it was quite easy to get my iPod Nano set-up w/ Rockbox...

Is anyone else encountering the same issue I have with the transfer speeds TO the actual iPod Nano? I notice that when I copy a file of almost any size, it seems to take FOREVER (almost is if I was back to using a USB 1.1 port / speeds, if not worse.)

FYI, I'm using a Black 4GB iPod Nano w/ the latest "Apple" Firmware installed, as well as the most recent version (build) of Rockbox (which I just downloaded and installed today.)

Thanks

Llorean:
Yeah, this has been discussed quite a bit. The Apple Disk Mode on the Nano is quite slow. If you need to transfer several files, instead of letting Rockbox boot it into the hardware disk mode, you should manually reboot it into the Apple Firmware for decent transfer speeds. It's a bug of some sort in the hardware disk mode.

intellect:
sweet, good to know I wasn't going nuts... :P and thanks for the advice, I'll definitely try that from here-on out!

One more thing... I've noticed that when transfering files in Disk Mode on a Windows 2000 system, I have fast transfers, but on my home PC with Windows XP I have slower transfer speeds.  I don't know what that could mean, but I thought it might be good to know.

Llorean:
Yeah, we've had reports of decent transfers in Linux. (Though I think some people have reported slow ones as well.) It seems to either be variable by player (Some nanos are fast in emergency disk mode, some aren't), In-Flash firmware version, or computer.
