Okay, good, that's quite clear. On the top line it says "Spd=480". That means the device is communicating at 480 Mb/s (high speed), which is the fastest rate available to USB. Your 9.5 Mb/sec figure doesn't seem right. Are you sure you don't mean 9.5 MB/s instead ("megabytes-per-second" instead of "megabits-per-second")? Even that would be a little on the low side for a real disk drive, but perhaps flash memory or its USB interface doesn't have as high performance. For example, my (somewhat old) flash device manages only 5.5 MB/s, and a newer devices rates 8.7 MB/s.
