Have you actually measured its real write speed for large files? Try
something like:
time dd if=/dev/zero of=/the/usb/drive count=1000 bs=1M
You might be surprised.

Well, I am not surprised, but disappointed (seriously!!!)
$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=/run/media/jd/USB3_ST1-2K/test-wr-speed.txt
bs=1M count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 57.6116 s, 18.2 MB/s
real 0m57.88s
user 0m0.00s
sys 0m1.28s
So much for 50MB/s write speed!!!!
Testing the read speed:
$ time dd if=/run/media/jd/USB3_ST1-2K/F3296296960 of=/dev/null bs=8M
392+1 records in
392+1 records out
3296296960 bytes (3.3 GB) copied, 106.6 s, 30.9 MB/s
real 1m46.62s
user 0m0.00s
sys 0m4.48s
So much for 160MB/s read.
