Your hard drive is going to be much better at getting data to your processor/video card than a usb interface. You have to understand as well that the usb transfer rate will only be as fast as the slowest device connected via usb. If you have an older usb device connected the data rate will be incredibly slow.
More memory might help.
Western Digital My Book hard drives use USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 speeds to transfer data from the hard drive to the computer and vice versa. When your My Book external hard drive is not performing properly or not turning on, you can troubleshoot the problem before sending the hard drive back to the manufacturer. Correctly powering up and installing the My Book are essential for transferring information and avoiding corruption.
Run your fingers up and down the power cable that connects to the back of the My Book hard drive and the wall outlet in your home. Feel for breaks or tears on the cable and replace the cable if needed. Check the pin on the back of the hard drive where the power cable meets the drive. Make sure the pin is straight and will make contact with the power cable properly. If the pin is bent, send the hard drive to Western Digital for repair. Plug a different device into the power outlet you are using to make sure it works properly. Use a device that you know powers on correctly. b> Slow Transfer Rates b> Open your computer's tower and check over the PCI adapter card that gives you the ability to achieve USB 3.0 speeds. Make sure that the adapter card is installed correctly per your manufacturer's installation manual. If the PCI adapter card is not installed correctly, you will not be able to transfer data in the 3.0 speed. Disconnect any other external hard drives connected to the system. When two hard drives are connected via USB, they share the transfer rate bandwidth and slow your transfer speeds down. Run a Windows Update to change the USB driver on your computer. Click "Start" then "All Programs" and then "Windows Update." Run the update and choose your correct USB 3.0 driver from the list. Click "Install" at the bottom to install the driver. Hope this helps.
This not the problem with the pen drive but with your USB port. Check and make sure you are connecting the pendrive to a USB 2.0v. if you connect to older USB port then your data transfer would get effected. If still you are connecting it to USB 2.0v only then try to un-install the ports in Device manager and restart the PC once done the windows will automatically install the USB ports again and this will solve the problem.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING USB KEYBOARD BE CAREFUL NOT TO UNINSTALL THE USB PORTS OR YOUR SYSTEM MAY NOT ACCEPT THE KEYBOARD SOMETIMES. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Usually this is and issue with the usb host to pci bus driver check the support website for a new one. PS usb 2.0 function usually doesn't just stop working on the flash drive itself

It would take atleast 4 times longer compared to USB. (maybe looking at upwards of 10X slower) I've got the F55 and suggest buying the floppy disk adapter, its only $60 or so and will speed up the xfer considerably. I would say 4times faster.
