USB3 devices, because they are much newer, have much
less chance of having issues with larger transfers.

We still keep a limit because anything above 2048
sectors really rendered negligible speed
improvements, so we will simply ignore
that. Transferring 1MiB should already give us
pretty good performance.

hehe, that was bad :-p

yeah, it always does 128 sectors no matter if it's usb2 or usb3. Mac OS
X will do 256 sectors for USB2 and 2048 for USB3. Tested both by copying
formatting and copying large files over.
