Hello, everybody.... I have an external 2.5" drive sitting inside my PM G4 plugged in through USB 2.0 (A PCI card) and normally, whenever I transfer things between the Main system HDD and the external 320GB HDD, the transfer speed is literally 500Kb/s. For some reason, yesterday, when I restarted, the External HDD hot-wired itself, and sped up the file transfer speed to 690MB/s for some strange reason. This only works between the main HDD and the external drive. One day I was copying a 100MB Mac OS 8 ISO from the main HDD to the External HDD and it took about 27 minutes. The next day, I restarted, and I copied the ISO of Kubuntu 10.04 from the network to the system's main HDD, and that took about 3 hours. I then copied the ISO from the HDD to the External drive, and it literally took 1.2 seconds. I verified the image and i'm not lying, something in there is hotwired. I was able to copy a DMG image of Leopard (Which BTW is 7.8GB in size!) for the use of my Virtual Q emulator system in about 8 seconds.
So tell me wise users of Lemlist.... I didn't do anything to hotwire the machine to do this, and I was able to copy a 7.8GB file in 8 seconds... how is this possible through USB 2.0? -- Sent from Mark's Power Mac G4 Sawtooth....
