Query: Cheap, mediocre performance.

I received this drive free when it was bundled with another Patriot product.The plastic exterior is bit cheap feeling, but does the job. Unfortunately the cap cannot mount on the back of the drive.I ran the benchmarks below using Ubuntu 10.10, USB 2.0 port, on a clean, formatted FAT32 drive:$ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sdb1 && sudo dd count=1k bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/media/8bdb3b70-083d-4dcb-a6b3-dc685004056e/test.img/dev/sdb1:Timing cached reads: 2118 MB in 1.99 seconds = 1061.80 MB/secTiming buffered disk reads: 28 MB in 3.05 seconds = 9.19 MB/sec1024+0 records in1024+0 records out1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 235.332 s, 4.6 MB/sRead/write speeds ~9 MB/s and ~5 MB/s is pretty poor performance for this day and age. I have $20 flash drives from two years ago that run circles around this drive.
