Low umass performance with USB 2.0 ports on HP ProLiant DL360

Fri Sep 30 07:42:25 PDT 2005

Hello!

I have similar problems like others with my external USB2 disk. Transfer 
never exeeds 1MB/s.
I tried various hardware configurations but none of them resulted in 
successfully installing EHCI driver.
 My best guess is that EHCI driver doesn't support Genesyslogic chipset 
in external hard drive chasis
(noname manufacturer). HP server should be fully compatible with usb2 
specification. Where should I
search or what system information should provide to solve the problem?

Thank you very much!

Jan Kumer
