I fully agree with you, David.
I experienced the same thing with video transfers, even to USB3.

I also got annoyed fumbling about under the desk locating the USB socket 
on the box and now use a USB3  extension cable.

I still had buffering slowdowns until I tried a USB3 card reader 
(Transcend)  and SD cards - class 3.

The writes are now blazing fast.  So I don't think much of sticks except 
for archiving.
