m1210 and usb 2.0?

Greetings,

I've discovered a problem with my M1210 (CDT2400,1024mb ram,GF7400) a few days ago. After plugging a 2 gig usb flash drive in and trying to copy some stuff onto it, I noticed I'm only getting 600KB/s... which you might say is not that bad, but if you're trying to copy more than 1 gig... you get the point. Now most of you would say, firstly, check if the flash drive is usb 2.0. It is. It works on other computers without a problem.
Now, what surprises me the most, is the fact that when I copy something _from_ the drive, it runs up to 11 MB/s, it seems that it's only a matter of writing _onto_ the thing.

On a sidenote : I usually have two external HDDs running and they run smoothly at around 20 MB/s reading/writing. I tried plugging everything out except the flash drive but there's no difference.

As for OS & software, I'm running win xp home, newest bios/quickset/cam soft.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

There is a USB2 hotfix for Windows XP.Try it out.
P.S. : Do you have XP SP2 ?

 

Check the specs of the flash drive. 1Mb/s writing would not be surprising, and writing *is* slower than reading.
