As you can see from the images, i am getting these moments where the speed drops to 0 for about 10 seconds then picks back up to full speed again. It reminds me of a 'saw blade' or 'thread' lol.
I am transferring from an SSD.
I would download HD Sentinel and check the external and internal drives' health.
This is normal.
Smaller sized files will slow down the speed, especially if there are many one after another.
A larger sized file and the speed will increase.
Sorry guys, become really busy and haven't been able to check these replies.

I will check this out, thank you.
The file sizes im trying to transfer are 1gb to 10gb videos.
SSD 850 EVO > MyMemory USB 3.0 (the one in the 3.0 port)
Flash drives are usually not the fastest devices around mostly due to buffer constraints & the slowness of inexpensive memory. Most flash drives exhibit exactly what your seeing. Won't get any faster no matter what you do other than replace the flash drive with a fast memory drive.
That's normal when using Windows File Manager to copy files to a USB flash drive, particularly with varying file sizes. Standard USB flash drives are not very fast.
