Hello.

I've noticed that when copying large files onto my usb 3.0 usb, my speeds are in the 500 megabits per seconds down to 200 mb/s.

How would I increase the speed of my USB device?

I'm not sure that is possible.

You are on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

The first 500MB/s are the files going into a special cache on your computer, once it slows down to 200MB/s is actually when the cache is full and it's writing to your USB device.

Would that be the disk cache or the ram?

I think it would be rather unlikely to go into the processor cache :)

Most likely the files are copied into the ram in a buffer then it is written onto the USB drive.

It indeed goes into RAM, which means your main drive's read speed is apparently 500MB/s ;)
