There is a review of 30 different USB 3.0 memory sticks here,

31 USB 3.0 Thumb Drives, Tested And Reviewed - 31 USB 3.0 Thumb Drives, Rounded-Up

The fastest ones are over 10x faster then the slowest ones and ones like SanDisk extreme getting over 200MB/s read and write.

I just wondered what rea/write speeds were classed as Slow, OK, Fast
all mine are 2.0 I think

reason I ask is I was going to transfer data from the Wii U to a large USB stick (saves and downloaded games) but wanted a decent speed for them to run/load

max i can get out of a usb2 port is about 30mbps and thats with class 10 micro sd
but its not all about the drive its somewhat to do with the pc and processes running at the same time

I often use USB pendrive beacuse of my job, and most of them reach a 5MB/s in writing. I'm talking about the USB 2.0, never tryed a 3.0 yet
