SD cards are definitely slow compared to the good CompactFlash cards. Your results for the SD Extreme card seem quite normal. (There are a few variants of the Extreme, but that's a whole other wormhole we don't need to go down now).
The Seagate GoFlex drive is definitely a little more up-market than the Seagate Expansion (bargain basement for them). It's definitely working at the fast end (the start/outside) of the drive though. The drive in mine is a 5400 rpm, otherwise I'd be hoping to get closer to 100 MB/s.
Re your internal SSD, how long have you been using it? Eventually it may need reconditioning to bring the write speed up. Have you enabled TRIM? On most models this will also increase your write speed.
