Is there a USB Bandwidth Test Tool to see home many MBPS is actually happening ?

Background: I just installed a USB 2.0 PCI card in one of my PC's at home, (Dell Pentium 4 1.5Ghz / not net connected) but XP still pops up a message, you could be doing this faster with a high speed USB device, when I put in my USB stick.
Is it the USB stick or the PCI card that XP is popping up the message ?

Is there a way to test how many MBPS the card is I/O'ing

Am I missing something, forget to config ... XP Plug-and-Play automatically detected the device and did its magic.
Or, should I install the drive that came on the tiny CD that came with the PCI card ?

Am I still USB 1.1'ing or is it 2.0 or just Two Point Slow

Going to move this to "computer stuff" so it will get noticed:thumb:

This might help. I use "HD Tune" for benchmarking HD's and USB drives.

And a screen print of my USB 2.0 drive using HD Tune. Sounds very much like your setup is using the USB 1.1 version.

Thanks for the info, but I'm not planning to attach a HD via USB. But I'm not ruling using one for backup, at a later date.

So far, I'm just using a few USB flash drives, digital camera and Sandisk MP3 player. O/S is XP Pro SP2. PC is Dell GX 240 (P4 1.5 Ghz desktop. The floppy removed, and 2nd HD where floppy was, but connected to 2nd IDE, split with DVD drive)

The reason why I got the USB card is I am thinking of getting the Alesis MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 Mixer/USB Interface ($395US). I'm sure if I'm not getting USB 2 speeds, this unit will handle the stereo mix only, and not each channel + stereo mix. However, I probably won't need more than 4 at one. Maybe 5 (mic, stereo guitar signal from Zoom G7, stereo line in from Roland synth)
The Alesis gives me two things I need, since the LCD on my 4 track died (6 inputs), and I was planning to replace, and wanted a multi-input audio interface.

Actually, last night, I noticed my soundcard wasn't working, but I think I just had the Line In and Line Out reversed, and I am using the soundcard in a newer PC, where the PCI slots are connected towards the middle of the PC, rather than the outside. Sort of upside down, now.

I swapped the location of the USB card and the soundcard, and made sure the audio connectors were correct (didn't connect MIDI)

When I re-booted, ta da ... the Windows greeting roared through my headphones. Good sign # 1.
Then, I tried my USB flash drive, and no "not a high speed usb connection" messages. Seemed to work faster to transfer some files over. Actually, the LCD just flicked for a split second, where it usually flashes a few times minimum, in the past.

Question: will that utility work with flash drives ?

Yes, that screen shot if of my own USB flash drive connected to this very PC.
(I guess the pic doesn't show that it is a pure USB thumb drive connected to my main PC via USB and no cables).

It should give you similar readings if USB 2.0 is working (by the speeds you benchmark), but it sounds like you have it sorted. It does HD's and Thumb drives, and externals too if I am not mistaken. It's a nice utility. There are others though. That is just one I have been fond of through the years.

Cheers!
