> now that you have mentioned it, i have noticed recently that my desktop
motherboard usb port has gone slower. i mean previously i used to get 28-30
MB/s transfer speed with my external usb drive. but now the max i get is
10MB/s . i have tested the external drive on my friend's laptop and to my
surprise it transferred with 25MB/s ! is it any indication of any
potentially disastrous hardware failure issue ?
