How determine individual USB "connection" speed when USB2 is coming and going?

I already know that all of my USB devices are USB2, as are most of my USB Ports.  But I'm having an issue that is causing the USB2 devices plugged into USB2 ports to slow down and act as USB1.   (May result in a separate post)  So as I troubleshoot, and keep restarting my USB2 devices, It is useful to know quickly whether a given devices is functioning as USB1 or USB2. (again, the OS is having problems, and sometimes seems to "downgrade" teh connection (or something) to USB1.

so ALL I want to know here is -- What's the easiest way to to determine whether the devices is "seen as" usb1 or usb2?  Do a file transfer and look at the speed?

thanks

Since USB 2.0 is 480 Mbits/sec and USB 1.1 is 12 Mbits/sec, I would say a simple file transfer will reveal what it is using.
