I'm not sure whether the USB cable actually powers the reader, but it must be connected in order for the PC to "see" the reader. I would assume that the reader is part of a USB hub. That would explain why it is a bit slower than a new dedicated reader. I don't use that reader much since I already have the combo floppy / reader installed. The maximum transfer rate on my 4GB A-Data 150x is around 8MB/s though and is slower than the Transcend I have.
