Good drive but very slow
Review From: deckard, 21-Aug-2006
Drive is very slow during data transfer to external drive via USB 2.0 interface. Maximal write speed is about 5MB/s when writing large files. During long write sessions with many files drive has average speed about 3.5 - 4.5MB/s - that is slower than my USB thumbdrive !! Even ordinary 2,5" notebook drive in cheap USB 2.0 enclosure is almost 3x times faster.
