User Feedback :: LiveCD copying over USB 2.0 speed ?

? There are only usb-uhci and usb-ohci loaded in knoppix-autoconfig of DSL 4.4.3, no mention of ehci..

Edit: Ah. It's in minirt24.gz instead.

It was a mixture of file sizes but there was 1.3GB of photos which were at least 1MB each, a few hundred MB of music and the rest a mixture of other, word / excel etc. So the majority were large files. It still seems very slow to me.

Well, it does matter what u call large, i, for instance, dont think 1mb is very large. So if u got many photo's of 1mb that could have been the problem.

Personal experience:
Imation 4GB USB2.0 pendrive which I bought this year. Transferring 1.5G of mp3s took about 20 minutes on my Debian 'Lenny' install w/ a very recent 2.6 kernel. 1 hour for 3G sounds reasonable (but very slow in actual terms).

OK thanks, it seems OK then if it is similar to speeds you experience. (Yes reasonable, but slow in actual terms )

(I called the 1MB large only in comparison to having lots of very small word or excel files.)

(I also took the drive out and connected it up as a slave over IDE and transfer speed was very fast - that's really why I'm asking. I know USB is a different interface but was just checking it was operating as one would expect.)
