Title: DELL Precision 360 Desktop - USB is not 2.0
Post by: idp_qbn on September 25, 2008, 07:19:34 AM

Hi,
I have installed a pretty bare-bones SME7.3 on a DELL Precision 360 Desktop.
I have added Darrel May's rsync backup and configured a USB disk to go with it, as per his instructions.
It transfers data at the appointed time, so it works.
BUT
The USB transfer is very slow - this suggest to me that SME 7.3 has not recognised the USB ports as being USB 2.0, but rather USB 1.1.
As a WinXP system in a previous life, its USB ports were definitely USB 2.0.

Can someone point me to a Howto or information on how to get SME to recognise the USB ports correctly? All help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ian

Dodgy cable......I replaced the USB cable and it just flew! As it should have.
