 I am using the usb_msc example with an SD card. When I check this example on a Windows 10 machine, I observe data transfer rate of 355 Kbps. Is it possible to get a higher data transfer rate? 
 Regards,

&lt;p&gt;Possible: Yes. But also rather difficult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You need to use the (bug-ridden, see errata) SPIM3 in order to achieve 16MHz on the SD cards SPI bus. On top of that you need to read from the SD and write to USB &lt;em&gt;at the same time&lt;/em&gt;. The latter requires some non-trivial buffering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maximum possible is roughly 1 MByte/sec if everything works flawlessly. That is only ~3x your current data rate...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
