I should have done the arithmetic long before this, but unless you're way off on your numbers. 1.25 GB in 1800 seconds is only 0.71 MiB/sec. Cheap flash would be slow but I wouldn't expect it to be THAT slow. You should be getting at least single digit MB/sec transfers. (Shouldn't he?) Perhaps you could test read/write speeds using either Dan or Bruce's suggestions? I mean for pity's sake, that's less than 5.7 Mbits/sec. The USB 1.1 spec at 12 Mbits/sec would be faster than that. -irrationally long winded john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
