Try to test with one 1 Gb file. Then you will see that the transfer speed of the portable HDD is (up to 4x) higher than what you tested.

Why would I test with a file size I rarely, if ever, transfer? I used for my test the file sizes and types that I normally backup to my external drives. I use these external drives as backups and to transport files to other locations/computers. In a real world scenario, I bet I've never transferred any file anywhere near 1GB in size.
