When copying a file to your pendrive, that file has a size and the pendrive has a transfer speed, you'll be waiting for that file to complete transferring because the file size is too big or the data transfer is too slow, here's 2 examples:

Example 1:
If the file is sized 2GB
And the Pendrive speed is 5MB per second (the average normal speed on almost all the USB flash drives)
Here's a small calculation about the duration of the transfer:
2 GB x 1024 = 2048 MB
2048 / 5 MB = 409,6 Seconds
You'll be waiting 6 Minutes and 49 Seconds for this Transfer

Example 2:
If the file is sized 2GB
And the Pendrive speed is 30MB per second (an improved speed)
You'll be waiting Only 1 Minute and 8 Seconds

A difference of 3 minutes or more can happen if your pendrive is so slow carrying files. Here's a smart trick to increase the speed of transfer thus decreasing the waiting time.
