Slow speed of USB 3.0 Drive

[arif1752002m4a1]

I brought a new pen drive name -HP x740w 16GB. USB 3.0.

It read speed is 27 MB/s and write speed is 12 MB/s only.
I think it can go much faster but how.
Even when I plug it on USB 3.0

Hi

read & write speed will depend on where the data is coming from eg: coming over a network cable, local SATA 2 or 3 hard disk, SSD or ram disk
and also on file size

I am testing a new 64GB Sandisk usb 3 (which claims upto x15 faster) and getting varying speeds upto 20MB/sec.
But currently writing at 8 MB/sec because source & destination are on the flash drive.

Ok this is where you got to read the fine print....
USB 3 is faster than USB 2 by quite a margin - people who sell USB Drives always state that this is faster.
What they don't tell you, is that they still put * chips in the USB so that will be your max speed.
You need to look at the CLASS of your USB for real world speeds.
Not the best example - but if you scroll down you can see actual speeds - has not much to do with USB speed as this isn't the slow part.
