A user reports that files are taking hours to transfer from a device to an external USB drive. The technician confirms that the device's cables are connected and the correct USB port is being used. Which of the following steps should the technician take next when troubleshooting the issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When a device is experiencing slow file transfers to an external USB drive and the physical connections are confirmed to be correct, the next step is to update the device drivers. Outdated or corrupt drivers can cause suboptimal performance and slow transfer speeds. Updating the drivers can resolve these issues and improve the device's communication with the USB drive, leading to faster file transfers.

I don't think replacing the USB drive is necessary yet. Let's try updating the device drivers first.

I love how 'replace the device' is never an option. As if we're supposed to just magically conjure up a new device when things go wrong!

But what if that doesn't work? Should we consider replacing the USB drive?

Replacing the USB port? That's probably a last resort kind of move. I'd try the driver update first and see if that clears things up.

If that doesn't work, maybe turning off Bluetooth devices could help.

Turning off Bluetooth devices? I doubt that would have any impact on a USB transfer issue. That's a bit of a wild card option, if you ask me.

Replacing the USB drive? Really? That seems like a bit of a stretch. I'd start with the drivers first before doing anything drastic.
