Good information.
My comment about 4k read being important is for the library browsing case.
That seems to match your results.
Interesting the old/cheap USB 2.0 device has much better 4K read than the new USB 3.0 one.
Scanning a library will be using more 4k writes, which is where the "fast" one wins (by a factor of 50!!!)
Looks like we need to find a device with fast 4k reads and writes.
