	Benchmark of Lexar JumpDrive Sport (256 MB), with 51650 KB (50.4 MB) file: USB 1.1 write: 59 s (0.85 MB/s) USB 1.1 read: 48 s (1.1 MB/s) USB 2.0 write: 8 s (6.3 MB/s) USB 2.0 read: 6 s (8.4 MB/s) I'm glad I didn't buy a USB 1.1 thumb drive. One minute for a 50 MB transfer almost seems like an eternity now. However, this is on only my PC. My TiBook is USB 1.1 only. It will be nice when I upgrade to a new G5 PowerBook with USB 2.0.
