What kernel version are you using exactly?

Reading time is tricky.. did you umount and unplug/replug the device before reading?
If not, you didn't even access the device (or partially) and all data have been
pulled from the cache.

Can you please try and make sure that no other _hcd modules are loaded and repeat
the test?
