I have seen a similar issue when transferring to micro SD cards, transfer seems to plateau out at between 300-500kB/s. Especially prevalent with large sustained transfers. I assumed it was the flash cards because it didn't matter if I used the laptops built in card reader or a usb trans-flash adapter, Now I'm starting to think it's an inherent problem with flash memory alltogether.
