========================================
Screen shot attached.. when i transfer data from phone to pen drive via OTG cable .. it's too much slow.. 1gb of data takes too much time to copy on a pen drive. Shows 1.44 mb max speed and below. Pen drive is sandisk cruzer blade 16gb...
Same pen drive gives 14mbps transfer speed on a computer.
I want to know is this normal speed for a phone ?
Or this phone can transfer max at this speed only.
Same slow speed on default file manager ..and also in Mi file manager app.

Hey, I checked it right now on MPM1 (4GB, 64GB) with SanDisk 64GB MicroUSB Pendrive and unfortunately mi file manager could not even read the files, so I just transferred a 1.43GB file to my pendrive directly connected to the charging port and the time taken was 82 seconds (Tested 3-4 times, all the reading - 81, 82, 80, 83 seconds) with simple calculations (I was not able to use mi file manager so I don't have the transfer speed) the average speed was 17.8MB/s which is not bad.

I suggest you 3 ways, give them a try and get back to us-
Change PenDrive
Try different file manager, the in-built file manager is good enough or you can try Google Files
May be the problem is with the file type, I got 17MB/s with rar file, test the transfer speed with different file type
And also via OTG my mobile couldn't detect the pendrive
