    I bought a LaCie external Hard Drive,design by F.A. Porsche 250GB:

    It says:

    * Save your files, photos, MP3s & videos
    * [bold]Fast interface transfer rate: up to 480Mbits/s[/bold]
    * Simple setup; easy-to-use
    * Lightweight, durable & stackable

    So,how in the hell i get that speed??

    I have USB 2.0 installed on my computer,but the speed is nothing near that.

    You guys are my last resource.
