Re: HD and DVD burner in USB 2.0 enclosures

I just got a PCMCIA USB2.0 card today and was testing it using an enclosed external harddrive, by transfering data. It took 5 minutes to transfer 700MB, so it's only about 2MBps? I was hoping to have this PCMCIA card, as well as buying an internal DVD burner using the same enclosing. When i was reading other sites (overclock extreme), when they test external enclosed HD read/write speed through pci_usb2 cards, they get about 17~23MBps, by transfering data and also use Sisoft's Sandra.

So my question is, what's the transfer rate that you guys get with PCMCIA_USB2.0? I'm kinda worried that the 2MBps that I'm getting is actually due to a low quality PCMCIA card?
