The DR only sees FAT32. I haven't tried quite that many files, but my 16GB Sandisk works fine even though I have it filled up. Are all of your files in a single folder? Perhaps the CTB is not great at spidering super-large folders. I really doubt that its a FAT32 limitation though.

My 32GB PNY had strange issues; it wouldn't get auto recognized, folders wouldn't open or would take forever to open and I've even had the entire disk wipe itself clean. I've had similar issues with a 16GB A-data, but none with my 32GB Kingston.

Edit: I read your post again and now I'm not sure if you're complaining about your computer or the DR. If its your computer, its probably some buffer overflowing somewhere and thereafter dictating your transfer speeds. Perhaps standard Windows file copy just isn't built for something like that. Just a thought.
