Sorry Iceman but USB2.0 is not always USB2.0. According to the specs USB 2.0 even should be 480megabit per second.
I have mad a very bad experience by thinking that USB2.0 is really fast.
I would recommend you take a look at this page

they are in Australia and you buy a USB 2.0 Loopback port testing device and just for fun test your USB 2.0 ports. You will be amazed in the differences this ports can have.
I once bought a Hewlett Packard desktop PC and I was wondering why my Lumenera Infinity 2-2 did not deliver me the 12frames per second as advertised. On another PC it did.
The HP had a transfer speed of 133mbps, they exchanged the PC and OH wonder the second one had 33mbps. After they did not accept anymore claims I just cannibalized the HP and put a new Motherboord in it and there I got 360mbps and yes just because of HP now I have such a USB 2.0 Loopback hardware tester.
If you are interested I can send you a few screenshots of some protocols of a few ports I have tested which claim to be USB 2.0.
