Transfer from USB2.0 to USB3

Not sure if this was supposed to go in networking or hardware so here goes ,

I regularly transfer about 600Gb of data from one external disc to another through my laptop , the specs of the external hard drives are as follows :

Donor - USB2.0 Buffalo HD-LBU2 1TB

Target - USB 3.0 WD My book essential

I am running both through a PCMCIA express card USB 3.0 .

The problem i am having is that i wanted the new USB 3.0 speed as it was taking a long time to transfer and thought getting a USB 3.0 card to insert to my laptop would speed up things to the max of each device .I am getting a throughput of 13.4mb/second max at the moment which doesnt seem that fast to me , one of the mitigating factors which might affect the speed of the transfer is most of the files are quite small ie3-4mb each or smaller .What could i do to get the best transfer speed,

thanks

This problems occurs because of hardware interface problems.
USB 2.0 are not as fast as its 3.0 counterpart.
And is engineered differently.
