Or do I simply confuse read/write capability with bus bandwidth?
Just because the bus (USB 2.0 or SATA 300) can send data at that speed, doesn't mean that your hard drive can spit it out that fast. I don't know exactly the capabilities of the current crop of hard drives, but I'm pretty sure that they won't push the bus to its limit.
