action.

a hdparm -t /dev/sdc showed it would copy at 1MB / sec (which is

about 1MB/sec is still good numbers ;) Look at this #114024

You can try use async mode if it will be better. $: mount -o remount,async /dev/sdc do not forget to call sync after this !!!!!!!!!!! Becasue syncing data is main problem with speed of data transfare. $: sync

Oh.. I think I forgot to mention that I was copying from the Archos to the internal harddisc (SATA). So on USB there were no write requests. Dominique
