external USB 2.0 drive

Does anyone have such as thing? My experience with 2.4.22 and a new USB/1394 drive are woeful. hdparm -t is giving me a lowly ~ 750kB/sec transfer rate.

My 5600D claims to be USB2, the drive does too, linux-usb.org's site says I should be getting a much higher transfer rate.

fixed. simply load the ehci-hcd module and the transfer rate rockets up to 12MB/sec.

I get 18MB now under 2.6.0-test4 - thats considerably faster than my internal laptop drive - bit of a bummer that.

I get 19-20MB on my internal, and it's only a slow 4500RPM. Do you have DMA on? I also have "idebus=66 ide0=autotune" in my lilo.conf append options.

I do have DMA on yes - I will try the other options though I have tried to enable them using hdparm - Its a 3 Year old laptop so its possible its just slow
