I have an XP system and I replaced the USB-1 card with a USB-2 card and the
speed of the USB drive is very much faster. I would guess it is close to the
speed of my hard drive.

You would guess wrong...


Wow! Sight unseen and you know more about my system than I do? Amazing!


He's right. Unless of course, your computer was built in 1982 and the
hard drive is an MFM or RLL type.

But if that's the case, it won't have any USB interfaces...
