About 7x faster to read from internal than write to external USB at what 
it's currently doing, but it should be getting 47 MB/s the way it 
started out instead of plodding along at 13...but even at 13 MB/s it's 
enough to transfer a 23-minute video in 15 seconds.  Considering I got 
it to expand my archival space, I am content.
