[ltp] USB Drive Transfer Rate

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

	Hi,

Be aware that all USB ports may not be connected to the same USB =
controller.

On my T40, the lower port is USB2.0 ans the upper one is USB1. For =
each, my
Fedora loads a different module.

You may use lsusb or brows /proc/bus/usb to see how your disk is =
connected.

++, Mathieu.
