Thanks for the email Gaspard. I have tried to see the speed on the drive tab but unfortunately no speed is displayed on my system. This could be because the drive is listed as non-removable instead of removable. I have no idea why. I have USB 1 and USB2 ports on this machine. The USB1 ports give less than 1MB transfer speeds, the USB2 ports less than 10MB. I'll find the correct existing bug-report. (I know I've seen ti somewhere).
