Burning time will be limited by the speed of the drive, not by USB 2.
USB 2 is not that slow as it seems. Only when you use TB of data it seems slow. For most other purposes, it is still fine.
100% agree on both accounts.
Ive said here before that USB 3 is great and all, but not the end all, be all -- unless you ARE transferring TBs of files back and forth daily, or maybe accessing large files all day.
Ive never put a stopwatch on my USB 2 transfers, but I would say anywhere from 45-60 seconds per GB depending on type of data. although "theortically" it should take less you need to factor in the overhead of how USB 2 works.
DVDs burn far, far slower than the max rate of USB 2. And a portable one like this, even slower than a nice desktop DVD.
