Now have you ever scored harddisk test of real wolrd throughput and you'll understand what I mean
Further don't forget that the big pusher of USB2 is Intel you know the guys that were telling and selling for years that only MHz counted

They are now in a position where they have completely obliterated that concept as to go in the direction of power to Watt ratio (incidently it is a selling factor :economy of energy)

Forget USB and given the choice of Firewire take it you'll be glad

Music is not only throughput but also timing and that is another matter and here the OS is also playing a big role (latency etc ...)
