I don't think the speed reported by the SCSI layer (CAM) is correct
for USB, although it seems from an experiment here that if you 
plug a USB3 drive into a USB2 port it reports "40.000MB/s transfers"
and on a USB3 port it reports "400.000MB/s transfers".  SCSI doesn't
really have any direct mapping to the USB speeds so I suspect the
USB stack uses the closest value.  The tests I did were with 10.3.
Other releases may behave differently.

Check with usbconfig what the negotiated USB speed is (the "spd=" value
with the Mbps or Gbps value in brackets afterwards)

FULL = USB1
HIGH = USB2
SUPER = USB3
