I've endured painfully slow file transfer with USB flash drives ever since Hardy. It has never improved. It has never been resolved. I realise this issue doesn't affect everyone but it has annoyed me for almost my entire two years with linux. During that time I have used dozens of different USB flash drives (some good brands, some cheap) and across different hardware. I had hoped my latest laptop would be different but no, it is still pathetic. 1-2 Mb/s is hopeless. If I boot into Windows it is always significantly faster i.e. the expected USB 2.0 speed for file transfer.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE place some importance on this. It has been an issue for far too long.
