Thanks to everyone for their very helpful ............snip USB 2 is notoriously slow in this scenario. For details, look up Sarah Sharp's talk at LCA several years ago on USB 3, which solves the problems. As I recall, it isn't the actual data transfer rate that causes the poor performance, but I can't remember the details now. Apologies for digression; all I could find of Sarah's talk were some presentation slides ; which didn't seem very informative...........not with-standing ; Wikipedia quotes maximum data transfer rates: for USB 2.0 at 480 Mb/s and USB 3.0 at 5Gb/s; is the above to be read as stating that; actually one can expect USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 ratio > (5Gb/s / 480Mb/s) = 10 ? regards Rohan McLeod
