They are also USB 1.1 backwards compatible. Unfortunately, the only speed 
you will get out of them on a USB 1.1 port is about 4x. Something to 
consider when burning lots of CDs. Not sure about all burners, but you can 
use this as a general rule.

4 x 150k/s = 600k/s (4x speed)

Do you have a USB 2.0 card, or a does your motherboard support USB 2.0?
