Holding that thought, Paul, because I like the idea but I wonder if it's another thread and it's something that I would need help with...
I have to admit to having been disappointed with the speed that this new card produces. So I decided to actually do some measurements. Using a Kingston DTSE9 G2 16GB USB 3.0 stick which I had to hand containing 4 files totalling 102.4MBs the time taken with each connection was:
(1) The original USB 1.0 port - 120 seconds.
(2) The newly acquired card - 150 seconds (!)
(3) The extra card which I had thought was actually slow - 9 seconds (!!!)
(4) This extra card connected through my Anker 7-port USB hub - 9 seconds
So, I was wrong with this extra card that came with the machine. I already knew that it whizzed along with my two external Mac OS formatted drives but assumed that they just liked working with "their own kind," as it were.
As you can see, I am rather surprised! Also surprised that the new card appears to be only USB 1.0 (and a bit less, too...)
