Testing 3 USB2 sticks in a USB2 port on my X200 (2.4GHz Core2Duo) I only get about 18-20MB/s read for bs=1M count=1k, with little load although 3k IRQ/s and 10k context switches/s, so I thought yours was good :) > And I do have usb 3.0: > > % grep xhci /var/run/dmesg.boot > xhci0: <XHCI (generic) USB 3.0 controller> mem 0xfeaf8000-0xfeafffff irq 17 > at device 0.0 on pci5 > xhci0: 64 bytes context size, 64-bit DMA > usbus0 on xhci0 > xhci0: <XHCI (generic) USB 3.0 controller> mem 0xfeaf8000-0xfeafffff irq 17 > at device 0.0 on pci5 > xhci0: 64 bytes context size, 64-bit DMA > usbus0 on xhci0 > > and I tried this thumb drive is in usb 3.0 port first, of course. Sorry for the static, I know nothing .. and running now unsupported 9.3 cheers, Ian
