ning noticeably faster

Is the drive connected to a USB
port on your computer, or to a USB

If your drive is connected to a USB port or hub, this is normal. A
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device can only operate at Hi-Speed USB 2.0
performance levels when it is connected directly to a Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 port or hub. Otherwise, the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device will
operate at the slower USB transfer rates. For more information,
