I miss physical media, optical or magnetic. Or something new!! Flash drivers are just computers these days.

  In what sense is a nand chip, a memory controller, and a usb plug, a "computer these days"?

    The flash memory controller is most likely a embedded stored program computer. Likely an arm, maybe dual core. A modern computer is really a distributed system, but not a lot of people frame the discussion that way.

In modern implementations, the microcontroller will approach 100 MHz performance levels, and also have several hardware accelerators on-die.
