This method I used for obtaining average transfer speeds on the command line.

The USB pendrive was still mounted via KDE4's "pop-up" mounting feature:

On the command line:
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/7-GiB-testfile bs=7M count=1024
$ sync
$ time ./test.sh

The shell script "test.sh" used:
$ #!/bin/sh
$ cp /tmp/7-GiB-testfile /media/disk/
$ sync
