You can make those settings permanent by editing /etc/sysctl.conf
and adding the line vm.dirty_bytes = 200000000 By issuing $ sysctl -p you won't have to reboot to use the new settings right away. Anyway, for me it does not make any difference transfer speed wise when copying files to USB with Ubuntu 16.04.3.
