I know I have a supposed to be very quick USB stick, which seems to be connected via USB 2.0 on my Haiku PC (native install) according to listusb. This stick is operating extremely slowly. I have not tried to write to it yet, but I suspect it would be even worse than reading. I didn't yet take the time to file a ticket, since I am just happy that it works at all... ;-) Over time, I am sure we will figure out those issues. Best regards, -Stephan
