USB 2.0 speed problems?

Well.. I could not find any "Off-Topic" forums so I guess this will come as close to my topic as I can get.

I have a Western Digital My Book® Mirror Edition 2TB, USB 2.0.
When I transfair files from that extern HD, I get about 32MB/sec speed. Is this normal or can I do something to increase that speed?

The USB spec it says : HDD Array External Interface Hi-Speed USB. Not USB 2.0.
Is USB 2.0 and Hi-Speed USB the same thing?

    afaik hi-speed usb and usb2 are not the same thing. hi-speed usb basicly means it runs faster than normal USB but not in the same way as USB2

    when you plug a USB2 device into either a standard USB port or us a standard USB hub and if memory serves extension cables, you will usualy recieve a message similar to "this device will work faster with USB2" but as with anything by MS it may popup if it feels like it today
