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.
