One byte is 8 (or 10 depending on the usage) bits
USB 3.1 Gen 1 = 5gbit = 666Mbytes
USB 3.1 Gen 2 = 10gbit = 1.25Gbytes
This is only the maximum (Theoretical) bus transfer speed.
The main answer is, the USB thumb drive itself has a controller and/or flash memory that can only read/write at up to a certain speed, and is the primary speed limit.
In dumb terms, a car can have a 240mph speedometer, but is only actually capable of going 120mph on its own.
got mine, the 256gb, for $10.11

On the serious note, good for the value/brand. You can use it for Blink sync module.

Anyway, I've been using it for a year now with no issues. Also, the 256GB gives a lot more recording space for security mode and dash cams.
You will have to format the drive first. On the touchscreen: Controls > Safety > Format USB Drive
This is why I'm a huge fan of these nvme usb adapters and you can pickup a cheap nvme drive somewhere, even eBay and have a 300-900 megabytes per second thumb drive on steroids.
This is the one I'm using with my spare sk hynix 500gb drive

It doesn't have heat sinks and it throttles but that's fine, it still beats a thumb drive
