USB 2 uses 1 millisecond frames, and in High Speed (480 Mb/s) mode they are divided into 8 micro-frames. The maximum size of bulk packets (used by USB mass storage devices) is 512 bytes. According to this very informative document the theoretical maximum is 13 packets per microframe. So the theoretical maximum speed of a USB 2 drive is:
Modern flash drives have USB 2.0 connectivity. However, they do not currently use the full 480 Mbit/s (60MB/s) which the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specification supports because of technical limitations inherent in NAND flash. The fastest drives currently available use a dual channel controller, although they still fall considerably short of the transfer rate possible from a current generation hard disk, or the maximum high speed USB throughput. (...)
Typical fast drives claim to read at up to 30 megabytes/s (MB/s) and write at about half that speed. This is about 20 times faster than USB 1.1 "full speed" devices which are limited to a maximum speed of 12 Mbit/s (1.5 MB/s).
In my machine, an USB2 flash drive speed never exceeds 33 MB/s in test application, even though Windows reported 33-37 MB/s speed. I did some testing and enabled disk cache (device properties) and increased usb max transfer size to 2 MB (KB2581464) but could not make it any faster.
I also did the above test with a regular spinning 2.5" Laptop 500 GB Toshiba HDD as the external drive inside the USB 3.0 Nexstar CX External Enclosure and it starts off with write speeds of 40 MB/s, but as the 500 GB gets filled up it gets slower effective rpm near the centre of the hdd disc and it slows down to 25 MB/s. I know the 500 GB drive is not the bottleneck since it has read/write speeds of 70 MB/s if it was attached to a USB 3.0 port on a newer Macbook.
The 5400 rpm hard disc drives with USB2 are limited by the drive hardware and the SATA controller. Even 7200 rpm or 10,000 rpm drives in a good USB caddy aren't really up to much. You need an SSD to reach the USB2 limit. Most of the "lost bandwidth" is actually controller latency, where it just takes time to turn around from writing the data to sending the completion signal.
The maximum speed limit is just that, the maximum speed at which drivers can lawfully operate their motor vehicles. This does not mean that drivers must drive at this speed limit; they can, and should in many cases, drive at speeds less than the maximum speed limit, such as when the pavement is wet or icy. However, driving too slowly can also be dangerous. Some Interstate highways have posted minimum speeds, usually 40 mph. In general, it is safest to drive with the flow of traffic unless that flow is exceeding the speed limit.
Fines increase if convicted of more than 1 speed violation in 18 months. A license is revoked for 3 convictions in 18 months. Fines may vary for speeding in a school zone or restricted highway. Fines may vary for speeding in a school zone or restricted highway. Fines are doubled in work zones. Posted speed limits in work zones must be observed regardless of whether construction activities are actually occurring at the time.
Ensuring the safety of children who cross public streets near schools is the responsibility of drivers, parents, school officials and road authorities. When combined with proven safety strategies, school zone speed limits can be effective.
Under Colorado law, a violation of driving 1 to 24 mph over the posted speed limit is a Class A traffic infraction. A violation of driving 25 mph or more over the posted limit is a Class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense. A violation of driving 25 mph or more over the posted limit in a construction zone is a Class 1 misdemeanor traffic offense. Failure of a driver to reduce vehicle speed to a reasonable and prudent level under hazardous conditions is a Class A traffic infraction.
Since yesterday im trying to upload a 40Gb file in my university account, not the first time i upload a file of this size. But this time the upload speed is 450KB/s when i always have 19 - 25 MB/S. I try to upload a smaller file with my personal account and with this i have the normal speed, i try the same with Google drive and same. Definitely the problem is my university account, not my pc or my internet connection.
Driving too fast for conditions is defined as traveling at a speed that is greater than a reasonable standard for safe driving.13 Examples of conditions where drivers may find themselves driving too fast include: wet roadways (rain, snow, or ice), reduced visibility (fog), uneven roads, construction zones, curves, intersections, gravel roads, and heavy traffic.14 The Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) reported that 23 percent of large-truck crashes occurred when commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers were traveling too fast for conditions.15
Did You Know? You should reduce your speed by 1/3 on wet roads and by 1/2 or more on snow packed roads (i.e., if you would normally be traveling at a speed of 60 mph on dry pavement, then on a wet road you should reduce your speed to 40 mph, and on a snow-packed road you should reduce your speed to 30 mph). When you come upon slick, icy roads you should drive slowly and cautiously and pull off the road if you can no longer safely control the vehicle.16
Speed limits posted on curve warning signs are intended for passenger vehicles, not large trucks. Large trucks should reduce their speed even further. Studies have shown that large trucks entering a curve, even at the posted speed limit, have lost control and rolled over due to their high center of gravity.16
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: The CMV driver is traveling on an undivided two-lane road at night. The driver passes a curve warning sign but fails to reduce his speed. The driver is traveling too fast when he enters the curve and has trouble maintaining control of his truck. The driver has to brake hard and crosses onto the right shoulder.
Did You Know? The posted speed limit on an exit/entrance ramp generally shows the safe speed for a passenger vehicle; the safe speed for a large truck is usually significantly lower than the posted speed.13
A speed limit sign is a regulatory sign that informs you of the legal allowable speed. It communicates a basic element of safe driving to the motorist. Uniform vehicle speeds can only be achieved through consistent methods of speed zone establishment, uniform sign design and placement, effective speed zone enforcement, and driver compliance.
What is the purpose of a speed limit?
The primary purpose is to provide improved safety by reducing the probability and severity of crashes. A speed limit sign notifies drivers of the maximum speed that is considered acceptably safe for favorable weather and visibility. It is intended to establish the standard in which normally cautious drivers can react safely to driving problems encountered on the roadway. Properly set speed limits provide more uniform flow of traffic and appropriately balance risk and travel time, which results in the efficient use of the highway's capacity and less crashes.
Who sets speed limits on the state highways?
The Florida Legislature authorized the Florida Department of Transportation to establish speed limits on state highways up to the following maximums: 70 mph on Interstates, 65 mph on a four-lane divided highway outside an urban area (with a population of 5,000 or more), and 60 mph on other state highways. Select the following links (These links open a new browser windows) for information concerning the establishment of state speed limits, residential speed limits, and school speed limits in the state of Florida. More information can be found at The Florida Legislature's Statutes website.
Why are speed limits different in each state?
Federal legislation gives individual states the authority to establish their own maximum speed limits. The Florida Legislature, as mentioned above, establishes our maximum speed limits.
How are speed limits established?
It is common traffic engineering knowledge that about 85 percent of all drivers travel at reasonably safe speeds for the various roadway conditions they encounter, regardless of speed limit signs. This leaves 15 percent of drivers who must be reminded of the maximum speed limit. This reminder must be coupled with meaningful enforcement. Based on this knowledge, a traffic engineering study is conducted to establish speed limits on the state highway. The Department uses the "85th percentile" method of determining appropriate and safe posted speed limits in conjunction with the maximum statute based speeds. This method is based on extensive nationally accepted studies and observations. By measuring the speed of hundreds of vehicles at various points along the roadway, traffic engineers are able to use data to determine a reasonable and safe maximum speed to post for all vehicles to travel.
What influences a driver's selected speed?
A driver's choice of speed is a balance between expedience and safety, and is often a subconscious reaction to the environment. The vehicle speed chosen by a driver may be influenced by, the presence of other vehicles, weather, road conditions, road geometrics, and other factors such as:
How do I get a speed limit reviewed on a State Highway?
If you feel there is a need to change a speed limit on a state highway, or you have further questions regarding our determination of speed limits, please contact the District Traffic Operations Engineer at your local Florida Department of Transportation office.
This may be somewhat of a noob question, but I got to thinking about system bottlenecks as I am specing out a new server to use for a backup to disk solution. My network is connected with all 1gig networking gear, all computers/servers have 1gig NICs, and my SAN is direct-connected to my current backup server by iSCSI. I started thinking about the different hard drive speeds (7200rpm, 15000rpm, etc.). I want my backups to be as quick as possible as they take nearly 70 hours (just over 2tb of data) to run currently. Would my write speed be the limiting factor?
