any freeware to monitor USB transfer speed

[D Cheung]

I have an external USB2 hard drive. Is there any freeware to monitor
the transfer speed between the internal hard drive and the USB
external hard drive?

Thanks.

Total Commander is nagware but will give you speed information.

If you're up to doing your copy/move ops via a third-party util, then
maybe Total Copy will work, for showing you a speed chart:

Side note. I happened to find this incompatible with my tastes. For instance,
it is hard-coded to want its files in the windir. Also, I just didn't find
it to do anything interesting enough to warrant letting it live in that
central place on my context-menu (it is a shell extension). But those are
just my tastes. It might suit others very well.

I've not checked explicitly that it would show its speedometer for file
transfers over USB, but I do consider that to be a reasonable prelimary
assumption...
