Slower than all other PNY USB 3.0 flash drives I own

So I have a lot of flash drives and I have one Relationship I love or hate for PNY. When they work, they're great. If they don't, they get upset. I have a 32GB PNY USB3.0 with 60Mbps write speed and a 64GB PNY Elite with 90Mbps write speed. The PNY Elite X offers 185Mbps, so I thought it would be a nice upgrade. The Elite X's write speeds were disappointing at 40Mbps. I think it's still better than USB 2.0 but less than a quarter of what I expected. (The format doesn't seem to matter, Fat32 was out of the box, I've also tried formatting to NTFS and exFat. Small speed differences)

Pros
