Specs show USB 3.0 & speeds of 480 Mbps. shouldn't the speed be 5Gbps for USB 3.0 ?

This would be due to being a 5400RPM drive and possibly using separate power connector and a lower power draw to support USB 2.0 also. My personal speeds match the 480mpbs number using USB 3.
USB 3 can hit 5gbpos but traditional 5400/7200RPM drives normally cap out 70-100 on average.
