Ok it seems that using samba doesn't make a difference when copying off a USB key mounted on the server. It took 26 minutes via samba and about the same via RDP redirection to copy a 330MB file from my USB key.
The biggest bottleneck lies somewhere between the DTU and the SunRay server, or I heard that the pcfs implementation on Solaris has issues aswell. It's really quite strange that the USB throughput over a 100mbit pipe is as low as ~12MB/min, I did a quick test and i was getting 11.21MB/s over FTP to the sunray server(from the same location that my DTU is) so i'm ruling out a slow network. Does everyone else routinely experience USB performance similar to this? Thanks.
