USB 2.0 doesn't realistically do 480mbit/s I thought

It absolutely can. Many years ago the limitation was PC mobos sucked and the likewise flash drives sucked. They marketed it but it was often just a peak.

Nowadays I can fully saturate the 480 mbit.

    No, real-world throughput is closer to 40MB/s (320Mbps) due to protocol overhead, which is relatively high.
