Yea! But!
Iit still has to write the Internal/external SD memory... Which you point out is Limited to 10-20MB/s
You are confusing Bus capability with practical application

If you could Write to both the Internal and the SDcard slot at the same time, you might double the transfer rate (20-40MB/s.)
Only a few devices can handle the theoretical USB 2.0 speed and you are using a major portion of your PC'c data bus speed at that rate.
