That's pretty slow. Comparing to traditional EIDE disks, that's around
UDMA2 speeds (a UDMA2 disk on a Dell P3-800 gives 20MB/sec). My USB2
enclosures are faster than that (30MB/sec on a Shuttle AMD-2500).
Timing buffered disk reads: 146 MB in 3.02 seconds = 48.35 MB/sec
That's closer to UDMA5 speeds (approx 55MB/sec on both machines).
All in all, not very impressive!
For comparison:

The drive's pretty new, the BIOS is dated Dec 2004, and the mobo is an
ASUS A7V400-MX (cheap all-in one, Via chipset), the CPU AMD Sempron(tm)
2400+.
