USB 3.0 Flash Drive speed correct?

[Svader]

I saw the PNY turbo plus usb 3.0 flash drive that said: Data Transfer Rate to/from Interface Up to 70MB/sec. (read); up to 20MB/sec. (write).
Apparently usb 2.0 has theoretical speeds of 60MB/s. I thought 3.0 was much faster, like 5 Gbps. Can anyone please explain? As far as I know there seems to be only a 10MB/s difference. Is that really anything?

Your Hard disk Speed is 5400RPM and "I/O Transfer Rate 600 Mbps" ...so the transfer rate of ur HDD is less than your flash drive.....u copy datas from ur Laptop to flash drive correct......

it's ur Laptop HDD Writing speed s low......not ur Flash drive
