I built my computer last Aug. Albatron K8X800Pro motherboard;
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ CPU and 1GB memory. The six USB 2.0
hubs worked fine until several months ago. They are now very slow.
For example, if I copy a file of 1GB from the hard drive to a USB 2.0
flash drive it takes about 3-4 minutes, slower than the usual USB 2.0
speed but still tolerable. But if I copy a file of 1GB FROM the
USB 2.0 flash drive TO the hard drive it takes 1.5 hours!!! Really
riciduluous 'cuz this is even (much) slower than USB 1.0. I tried
device manager and it says all USB 2.0 controllers are working
properly. And I know my USB 2.0 flash drives are good since they
work on other computers with USB2.0 hubs with normal speed.

Any problem with my motherboard? Or did I wrongly install some
software that I shouldn't? Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

Have you updated all your drivers?
Have you updated your BIOS?
Have you tried another USB cable and/or port?
Is all the USB devices that are slow?
Is your USB HDD is fast on other computers?
