Agreed, it has to be.

Leave all other ports on same USB hub (on motherboard)
empty, test with only that drive plugged in.

Old flash drive prices have plummeted recently, I bought
over half a dozen different 2GB cards over the past month or
so, and most are old stock with similar performance to what
you reported, what I'd mentioned previously, roughly 3.6MB/s
write and 8-16MB/s read. That's ok by me for the price as I
already had faster cards for specific needs and they weren't
any particular speed rating but for a few 60X CF cards.

Connect Computers seems to be a Compusa branding, it's some
other brand of product that was relabeled for Compusa.
