I dunno, I've got two 1 TB USB drives; on USB 1.1 it's painful, but on 
USB 2.0 it's not too bad.  I tend to use them for archival purposes more 
than anything, but when I do the transfers in the office (local backup of 
materials since I work from home most of the time), the performance isn't 
bad.
