I can't believe I was able to write the OS image to it and then it crapped out only afterwards.

Or can I?

And I guess USB2 still somehow manages to be faster than the RPi SD card interface.

@onfy to be fair the bottleneck of that might just be your sd card

@noiob No, the interface actually does max out at 40 MB/s apparently. Though random I/o may be more of a concern. In theory you can get faster SD card access from a USB reader.
