Just a caution that these USB flash drives tend to have good sequential performance but lousy random write performance. So for copying lots of small files the performance might still be quite low. The reason is sequential performance is easy to achieve with NAND flash and a simple controller but random performance requires a powerful controller and better algorithms.

- codinghorror 14y agoVery cool, but Amazon says it's $230 for a 50 GB model! I need to run more detailed benchmarks but hopefully the 64GB for $75 model is somewhat close to "real" SSD performance on the full gamut of IO.
