Greetings, I tested with the hdparm with two pen drives, one USB 2.0 and one USB 1.1 on a board with support for USB 2.0. I'm using kernel 2.4.20 and I'm also using the USB 2.0 EHCI (experimental).
This are my results: hdparm -t /dev/sdb1 (USB 1.1) /dev/sdb1: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 67.67 seconds =968.46 kB/sec hdparm -t /dev/sda1 (USB 2.0) /dev/sda1: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 13.62 seconds = 4.70 MB/sec However this results are very far (specially in the USB 2.0 device) from the limits announced in the USB: USB 2.0 ~ high speed, at 480 Mbit/sec USB 1.1 ~ low speed at 1.5 Mbit/sec, and full speed at 12 Mbit/sec Is my system under the right conditions to get the full power of USB (1.1 or 2.0), or there are some limitations/bottlenecks beyond the limit of the values announced in theory? thanks, Pedro Salazar.
