Hello.
Thank you very much for the answers.

Well, the suspicous drive had two connectors, both were connected to an 
USB port (I think to provide the necessary power). Exchanging the USB 
cord with a normal single-headed one let the problem disappear.

It was funny to realize thast the same drive showed up 22 MB/s on WinXP 
(max) and only 7 MB/s on FreeBSD (both machines use the same mainboard, 
ASUS A8N-SLI/NForce4 chipset. On FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE, both cabling-types 
(dual and single head) run the disk only with 7 MB/s.

Nice to hear that Onetouch USB drives work well.

Best regards,
Oliver
