Hi,

I just bought 80GB WD USB2 hard drive. Everything works. I have 
formated it with ext2 file system, so that I can share file with 
linux. But the problem is that it is very slow compared to linux. When 
I transfered some files under linux the speed of the transfer is 
somewhere around 10MB/s but under freebsd (5-1p10) it is not more than 
1MB/s :(

Is it running in USB1 mode? Can I make it run faster?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ivan,
did you get any reply to your posting? I am having the same problem: 
Maxtor 250 GB external USB2 drive, Belkin USB2 card, FreeBSD 5.1, but i 
get only < 1MB/sec.

Does FreeBSD support USB 2.0 at all?

Thanks for any help

Sorry, i should have done some more research before asking. I compiled 
in the ehci device and am now getting > 10MB/sec.
