Ok those are great data points and good to know-thanks Bobby! So USB, even 2.0 is pretty slow, since I get in that 25 MB/sec range whereas I can get a lot more with internal SATA II or eSATA...hmmm... Will look into improving my connectivity then tho I don't know how much I can do with a T61; in the meantime:
