Yes, speeds will depend also on the type of I/O operation... It's no the same for the heads to read or write a sequential file, that a random seek...ah, I see what you mean. I was getting 45MB/s and it was usb 2 speeds as the devices were only detected as usb 2 (High-Speed devices, not Super-Speed) in UsbTreeView. Now this platter drive is doing about 95MB/s which is good for a platter drive
This Sandisk Extreme usb3 stick does about 240r/140w, which is really nice!
You can see what speeds the drive can achieve by running CrystalDiskMark...
Usually when I move files between the usb3 drive and the internal one, it hovers about 100mb/s
