We've found here that USB2 is quite slow for filestorage on linux systems

You mean like if I just cp -a my homedir to the USB disk? That is
exactly what I did when I first plugged in the USB disk. It's blazing
fast. Here's a test to provide quantifiable results:
That was my experience too, but one of my cow orkers was recording
throughputs of around 4MB/sec while doing backups.
I haven't had time to look at this. Our main storage is fibre attached
tape drives and he was trying to setup for home use.
Overall I am quite impressed with USB2 on Linux! I unpacked the drive
from the box, plugged it into power, plugged it into a USB port on my
box, and FC4 found it and mounted it for me and the transfer rate is
plenty fast. I love it when things "just work"!
This is mainly my experience too, modulo some wierd devices not (yet)
recognised by the modules (or where there are no drivers at all).
