[ILUG] Externam USB disk

[Ivan Griffin]

Just curious --

Is your USB mass storage device directly connected via a USB2.0/High 
Speed (480Mb/s) port? As opposed to a USB1.1 (12Mb/s) port?

Some laptops for example have only USB1.1 ports with USB2.0 ports on the 
docking station - or others have a mixture of both.

Cheers,
Ivan
