Benchmarks - Flotec Pockey Drive
The maximum data transfer rate is ~900 kB/s. The hard drive could easily perform better than 15 MB/s, but, as mentioned before, the USB interface is limited to 12 MBit/s (~ 1.5 MB/s). If you want to copy more than one gigabyte at a time, I'd recommend a firewire solution, such as the drives from Western Digital, which have much higher transfer speeds.
