How can you tell how fast a thumb drive is?
#8
I have a G4 MDD dual 1.25 with a USB 2.0/Firewire card installed. Using an Emprex 2 GB Flash Drive I got from Fry's about a month ago, I did a rough speed test.

Connected to a powered 1.1 hub with 486mb of pictures - took 12 minutes 47 seconds.
Connected to the USB 2.0 card the same folder took 1 minute and 41 seconds to duplicate it.

I was pleasantly surprised at the USB 2.0 speed. YMMV

Also, my Canon Canoscan 8400F scanner is about 5 times faster when using the USB 2.0 card. Again, YMMV
