You might also check that you are using all USB 2.0 HIGH SPEED. IOW, USB
2.0 specifies 3 speed settings and you might want to check what yours is set
for. I saw a simialr problem a couple of years ago and found that my BIOS
had a setting for HIGH SPEED being on or not. Once I changed the BIOS

In my case, I needed to make an exact image of the
source drive, so I felt dd was the appropriate tool.
I don't remember the bs - perhaps 1k?
Thanks for the hint.
