The one assumption that I made and did not state explicitly was that
both drives would be on the same USB bus, which I figured meant they
could only utilise up to half of the available bandwidth. Now that I'm
typing it out, that line of reasoning seems fairly ridiculous. :)

According to Kalin's post, your bottleneck is likely to be the
transfer rates of your drives, anyway, so luckily my absurd "logic"
should not have been too pessimistic, at least. :)
