USB file copy slow

Hi. I am having some problems to copy files from USB, the process is really slow. Took 30 min to copy only 1,3 GB from the usb to my home folder. Any solution for this?

Using:
Arch Linux i686
Kernel Release: 3.0-ARCH
WM: Openbox
DE: LXDE
Processor Type: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 540 @ 1.86GHz
PCManFM as fm

Re: USB file copy slow

Is your USB device attached via the uhci_hcd or ehci_hcd module?

(Check dmesg)

If your system is using the uhci_hcd module it will only operate at full speed 12Mbit/s (and not high speed 480Mbit/s) which means it would take at least 14 mins to copy 1,3 GB of data.
