Christopher M. Penalver please don't troll this issue. Please read what was written above. 
IT IS NOT BIOS PROBLEM. SAME HARDWARE ON WINDOWS WORKS !!! 

BTW: I see you like Microsoft (https://launchpad.net/~penalvch MCSE:
Security, MCSA, MCDST, MCP). I guess you should be removed from Ubuntu
support...

Title:
  Low write speed to USB disks

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using a Kingston DT Ultimate G3 (32GB) the "Disks" tool shows write
  speed about 7 MB/s !!! After start benchmark this tool shows write
  speed about 17 MB/s but immediately goes below 10 MB/s. Same low speed
  during copy e.g. 3GB file manually to USB 3.0 disk. This does not
  occur on read, only write.

  Similar low write speed problem is for disks:
  - Seagate Expansion Portable Hard Drive 500GB (model inside ST500LT012-9WS142)
  - Verbatim Store 'n' Go SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive 500GB (model inside ST500LM0 12 HN-M500MB)

  I report this bug from PC, but the same bug is on my laptop Asus X55U.
  Even the write speed on my laptop is more important to me.

  What I found about this bug (VERY IMPORTANT NOTE):
  - In old realese 12.04 LTS disks works OK.
  - In 13.04 disks works faster than it is now in 13.10.
  - If disk is formatted as NTFS the write speed is the lowest.
  - If disk is formatted as EXT4 the speed is x2 better.
  - If disk is formatted as FAT32 is low too.
  - No matter if disk is connected via USB 2.0 or USB 3.0. The low write speed is always the same.
  - This problem doesn't exists in Windows (so this is no hardware or BIOS problem).
  - This problem doesn't exists in OpenSUSE (so this is no hardware or BIOS problem).
  - No matter if there is UEFI. Laptop Asus X55U has UEFI but PC has not.
  - Hardware - no matter (same is on laptop ASUS X55U, I report from my PC now)
  - No matter if Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit mode.
