Maybe it's related to your chipset - I think there may be some
variations. I gave up on firewire on fedora when disk access
broke completely in mid-FC4 and didn't work till mid-FC5. I'm
using a WD external case and adaptec controller with the
CentOSplus kernel and get about the same speed you listed for
USB 2.0 - somewhere in the 20+MB/sec range in the hdparm test.
This box doesn't have USB 2.0 for a direct comparison but I
saw about the same speed but more CPU consumption when running
it on USB from a laptop (that was probably under FC3, though).
It might be the chipset of the F/W card, not sure. I have another, older
card, F/W only, I will try that in a bit.
Thanks,
