That's pretty slow.  Comparing to traditional EIDE disks, that's around
UDMA2 speeds  (a UDMA2 disk on a Dell P3-800 gives 20MB/sec).  My USB2
enclosures are faster than that (30MB/sec on a Shuttle AMD-2500).

That's closer to UDMA5 speeds (approx 55MB/sec on both machines).

All in all, not very impressive!
