[olug] slow microSD card file xfer

[Kevin D. Snodgrass]

Ubuntu 14.04LTS, HP computer, not sure what model (sorry), copying all files from a microSD card used in neighbor's GoPro.  64GB card took about 55 minutes to copy.  USB 2.0 theoretically can moved 60MB/sec, so that would take less than 17 minutes, figure 20-25 minutes for the non-theoretical real world file xfer.  This computer has a built in memory card reader, has 4 slots on the top face plate, all of course are USB attached.  Checked to see if EHCI driver was loaded for that port and it is.  Why so slow?
