I installed an new pci USB 2.0 card on my old server (only has usb 1) and also have a USB hard drive. I recompiled kernel with what I believe the correct options, but the drive is still running extremely slow.

Is there any way to tell if it's using USB 2.0? I think it is, but can anyone confirm?

I use a card with exactly the same controller. First such card didn't work at all: usb drive was never on usb2 though usb2 ports were shown.
I change the card to another one (not exactly but also with vt6202) and now it works but notably slower than "real" usb2.

how do you know it wasn't on usb2.0?
 
It's listed in dmesg as 40.000 MBps, which means it's registering as a USB 2.0 device (40 MBps is ~400 Mbps, and 480 Mbps is the max for USB 2.0).

Depends on the drive, though, whether it ever actually hits that max speed.

thanks!

I won't be surprised if it's a slow drive.

This is what iostat is showing.

From wiki:
A low-speed rate of 1.5 Mbit/s (~183 KB/s) is defined by USB 1.0.

1.5 Mbit is ~0.1875 MB, so according to iostat it's goig faster than USB 1.0; so can safety assuming it's using 2.0, yea?

USB 1 defines two speeds, low and high. Low is as you stated, high is 12 Mbit/sec.

In any case, yes, your drive must be using USB 2.0. Slow drive or USB controller I guess. :)
