I recently bought a Transcend Storejet 25 250 GB 2.5" portable hard drive. Everything seemed to work fine out of the box except that the data transfer using their proprietary software interface was incredibly slow--several hours to transfer just 15 GB of data. Even a later synchronization was very slow. The drive is supposed to be USB 2.0 and I checked my drivers and BIOS to see if USB 2.0 was enabled and it was. Any thoughts on this issue? I'm planning to return the drive as the TranscendUSA web site has been down for most of the last week and there is no tech support number. Any recommendations on a replacement? I want to use the drive for backups--I'm looking at Oyen Digital's Firewire drive or maybe a Seagate portable.

According to the motherboard manufacturer, all USB ports on my MB are USB 2.0.
