Slower because of the USB interface. USB 2.0 is, on paper, 40 times faster than the standard USB throughput of 12Mbps, and even has a comparative edge over FireWire which offers a throughput of 400Mbps. That is, USB 2.0 offers a maximum throughput of 480Mbps or 60MBps. Reality, however, is another matter... -----Original Message----- From: Ken Rossman [mailto:rossman@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 4:21 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Automounting USB drives [snip...] Oh, and by the way, lest you think that those pocket USB "drives" must be faster than a disk because they are just "memory", think again. They are flash memory, which turns out to be slower than a lot of disks out there, strangely enough.
