Speedup mobile drive on Windows 10

Windows 10 is slow again. This time it is slow with transferring files between USB drives (Flash drive, SD card, mobile HDD) even using USB 3.0. This is because, by default, USB drives are optimized for quick unplug.

To solve this:
 1. Open "Device Manager".
 2. Click on "Disk drive" to show all the drives.
 3. Right click on the desired drive to speedup, choose "Property"
 4. In the "Policies" page, select "Better performance" and "Enable write caching on this device". Then OK.
 5. Reboot to make it enabled.

You will experience at least 20% boost of transfer speed.
