Just a question, why is copying files to a thumb drive so slow?

I have USB 3 ports and whereas copying files to the drive on a Windows computer is reasonable, if I do so in Linux Lite it seems to take an inordinate amount of time.

If I take this same drive to a Laptop running LinuxFx (the Linux Windows 10 clone) and copy files it does so as quickly as a Windows 10 box.

Is there a switch I am missing?

This happens regardless if I use my new SanDisk 64 gig drive or a 32 gig cruzr drive or a 250 Gig drive
