What is the fastest *scanning* SOHO MFC?

[jacobdrj]

I have no real brand preference here. I have used printers from Brother, Canon, HP and more to various effect.

I want a multifunction printer that scans quickly. Which one SCANS the fastest?

Do any scanners use the full USB 2.0 speed?

USB and scanning speeds are not really comparable, but if you mean a scanner that can scan and create a file at 400mb/second, then no. A large image file from a scanner is a few tens MB, and a full color quality scan will take a second or more even from a fast scanner. So to fill up a 400mb work of scans will be at least 30 seconds or so.

Need a price range here, I can list some $1,000 scanners that are pretty fast, but that may not be what you want.

I just want simple 300x300 b&w scans. Most scanners I have used have not improved speed since I used old dedicated USB 1.1 scanners. I was just wondering which, if any, of the common sub $250 MFC's were faster scanners than others...
