Low umass performance with USB 2.0 ports

 The one I was extensively testing has FAT, but I've checked the UFS2 --
just a bit better -- 1.8 Mb/second. But you're right -- no wdrains at all.

 Yes, it has. But here the same flash drive gives different results for
ehci and uhci devices, and the total speed of echi is lower due to wdrains:
300 Kb/sec versus 500 Kb/sec. And I sometimes write my data to the Windows
partition with FAT to my home HDD -- it has no wdrains. At least, I've not
noticed them. For flash I can.
