This seems more like the SATA-II interface speed of ~300MB/s...

Yeah, bogus. And remember that 480 is megabits/sec (Mb/s)...actually
more like 60MiB/s maximum throughput (although I have yet to get more
than 29MiB/s from any USB drive).

Well I would first poke around in the device manager for the SATA
interface and make sure it is not in PIO mode. Then check the
property pages of the disk and make sure that write caching is
enabled.
