This is /bin/hdparm -tT readings?? That's real fast.. One guy with a maxtor usb 2.0 HD on this list had [root@localhost sbin]# ./hdparm -tT /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: Timing buffer-cache reads: 852 MB in 2.00 seconds = 426.00 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 36 MB in 3.10 seconds = 11.61 MB/sec which is tm a bit slow compared to ide at 26-29MB/sec
