If you'd like to see how fast your USB devices are transferring data, you can do that. There's a little application that's not all that well known and it's called usbtop.
It's a bit interesting to install and I only did the installation in a Mint box (though it is installed on a couple of Lubuntu devices but that was done ages ago). I know it's out there for other systems. You can figure it out, I'm sure of it!
