Two things:

single-request system, where the kernel is only allowed to
make a read or write call, then wait for the response, then
issue the next call. Anything describing itself as a "key"
is particularly likely to have this.
Is there any way to verify this (command wize)?
$ usb-devices
will show
Driver=usb-storage
for a slow device, and
Driver=uas
for a fast device.
Can you change your external storage?
Any suggestion?
You're looking for a device that has UASP support rather than
just USB Mass Storage. Some vendors make it easier to search
for this than others, e.g.
https://www.startech.com/HDD/Enclosures/?filter_UASP_YN=Yes
will show you all the StarTech USB3 enclosures that do UASP.
I don't have any specific recommendations.
I'm settleing on buying (1), Google says that it is UASP compatible.
The URL (1) is not stating explicetly that it is UASP compatible, how
can I infer that it is realy the case?
Thanks to all for the feedback.
