The delivery was faster than the drive. It is very slow in a USB2 port. I don't think USB3 will make that much of a difference. Average transfer rate is about 8mb/sec. It's almost as bad as crappy wireless.
Did you ever use anything from that library. It's pretty old and was developed by Yellow Tools. I got the S3 deal when Cakewalk was done. I removed it and the library off the system because I have too many DAWs and needed the 70gb space since the library is proprietary.
