I only get around 6 megabytes per second on a USB 2 Sandisk Cruzer
Blade flashdrive (store bought, not fleabay) plugged directly into a
motherboard's USB 3 port - one that's not sharing its host with any
other ports in use.
Do you get better perfomance if you use a larger block size?
Using USB3 and the default block size I get about 12.6 MB/s
Changing to bs=65536 I get overall 93.5 MB/s on a 2.1 GB iso transfer.
