    The reality is, many USB 3.0 flash drives aren’t noticeably faster than their USB 2.0 cousins

    Yes, especially write. The number of USB sticks faster than SATA (~200 MB/s) on the market is pretty limited.

    And not much better in read speed.

    One main point is; fast sticks have sizes in the range of USB-SSD-enclosures, for heat dissipation. Faster flash, more parallel connected layers, faster controllers, require that.
