The std says the speed is there. But on this Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard that cost $287 USD when I bought it, all USB ports claim to be USB2.0. The throughput to/from a hard drive in a self powered usb box that I have 2 of, one 40Gb, one 300Gb drive, has a hard time out running a floppy disk. No mistakes ever, but the usable bandwidth simply is not there. My next door neighbor bought one of the 40's the same day I bought mine, runs it as a backup on her windows machines. On her windows boxes, it has no problem moving data in either direction at about 50 megabytes a second. A 640x480 USB2.0 camera, plugged into the rear port of a D525MW Atom powered board, only make 3 frames a second. The linux version of USB is a 1 legged dog in comparison. Why we put up with that poor usb performance is beyond me. We had the original USB in full usage on linux a good year ahead of the Redmond version, but IMSNHO, linux has been sitting on its butt for at least a decade. What the bloody hell, a copy of the std reference is well within the financial reach of both Red Hat and Ubuntu & even SuSe. But I don't see any improvements in the speeds here, and I am currently running a 3.16.0 kernel on a quad core phenom.
