Has a tiny number 2 next to it..
which goes to an invisible footer that says max read speed.
They were being used for Security DVR backup. A 5.5GB backup was taking 8 hours.
I speed tested one on my laptop and got write speeds between 1.2MB/s-5MB/s
Even those average samsung alum. case ones were hitting 13-23MB/s

Yep all that and 1.5MB/s to 5MB/s
My 16 year old PNY attache 1GB drive will knock out a solid 3.5MB/s under same test.
That looks like the one that failed on me.
For what I was using it for, read/write speeds didn't much matter, but I'm now running a Samsung...
