Jan 9, 2013 12:26 PM in response to Potifarby mhadjar,USB 2.0 is 480Mb/s not MB/s. So that translates to 60MB/s (8 bits per Byte)
However, with overhead processes, you might see 35-40MB/s realistically.

Jan 9, 2013 2:40 PM in response to mhadjarby Potifar,Thanks for your reply, off course you are right, the theoretical max speed should be 60MB/s. so lets say that practical speed should be 35 to 40 MB/s , my USB is still very slow having 1/4 of realistic speed. My old laptop PC with USB 2.0 is close to 3times as fast (measuring time ,transferring a 2GB movie to same USBsticks ) .
