RE: New USB Drive
My external HDD casing decided to die, so I had to go and buy a new stick...

Got a 4GB Kingston USB.  Speeds are disappointing, but at least much better than this one.

Using a 2KB block size, FAT32, took around 100 seconds to transfer about 640MB.
Using a 32KB block size, took around 65 seconds to transfer the same file on.

Typically, USB 2 drives write at around 10MB/sec (the portable HDD seems to go at around 20-30MB/sec), so this new USB drive is still slow-ish.

But the 8GB one took over 350 seconds to transfer the file, using a 64KB block size...
