I agree.

i simply have no idea why it could work so slow.

Cheap controller in the USB enclosure. I've used quite
a few USB enclosures in the past years, and there are
significant performance differences. As a rule of thumb,
the cheaper the box, the slower it is. Of course there
are exceptions to that rule.
actually - firewire enclosures are not

I just looked at one of the most popular online shops around
here. They have about 50 different USB enclosures; prices
start at 10 EUR. But they have only six Firewire enclosures
(and none of them is 2.5!), the cheapest one is 34 EUR.
i think this 24 EUR it's worth of.
However, they do

solution. I'm actually thinking of ditching tape and using an
externally attached USB or Firewire disk drive.
