You need to increase the speed of your USB port. Get a USB 2.0 card that
fits into one of your PCI slots. If I remember right they cost less than
20 dollars. There is a vast difference between USB 1.1 (12 mb/s) and USB
2.0 (480 mb/s). Your Maxtor is 2.0 that is backwards compatible with
1.1. It can't run faster than your USB 1.1 port allows.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
