USB 3 isn't fast enough by itself. Flash drives usually offer multiple channels, unlike SSDs. Budget options sit around 5mb/s, while standard USB sticks typically range from 10 to 50mb/s. Premium models can reach over 150mb/s.
Consider trying Speeds again, though you still need to focus on write performance. The difference between reading and writing to the drives is quite large. For testing, download a Win 10 ISO onto your current machine, copy it to each drive (about 4GB), then transfer it back. Your reaction might surprise you—just use one Lexar and one Sandisk, and see how it goes.
