I have a built in card-reader, which is supposed to be USB2. It's connected directly to the motherboard, which allso supports USB2.
However, transfer is much slower with this cardreader, comparing to plugging the camera (Pentax *istDS) to a USB2 port on the the PC via cable. Something must be wrong. Any hints will be apreciated. Yours Lars |

Just because it says USB2 doesn't mean it's high speed:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/06...speeds_up_usb/ http://www.everythingusb.com/usb2/faq.htm 'USB2 Full-Speed' supports 12 Mbps whilst 'USB2 High-Speed' supports 480 Mbps. |

Hi,
just wondering how can a built-in device have a USB2 connector ?I thought the reason why the USB (or or firewire or serial)were developed is because these are intended for external devices and not for internal or built-in devices |

Thanks to all contributors for your clarifications.
Seems like I'm in the market for a new cardreader :sad: |
