Advice on buying large external HD?

I want to buy a large external hard drive. Something at least 10TB. Since it will hook up to my computer through a USB port, how can I make sure that the read/write speeds are fast enough for me?

And what are you gonna be using this for? External drives aren't gonna have the best read/write speed. I believe with usb 3.0 you are probably looking at a read speed of around 100mb/s maybe a little higher, write speeds will always be slower.
