Tom’s Hardware Guide Mass Storage: Two Fast and Functional USB Flash Drives – Power Meets Intelligence: Who Wins? and the more recent “Tomss Hardware high speed review”:http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20050520/index.html
A much later review that the “Xbitlab’s 2003”:https://richtong.org/gadgets/2005/02/10/flash_drives.html review I used to get an Apacer USB Flash Drive, so since I lost my Apacer, here’s an update on what to get that shows the “Transcend JetFlash 110” is incredibly fast nearly 26MBps read/23MBps write for a 1GB drive. Pretty amazing.
The other drives were pretty fast as well in order, the really fast drives use a different flash technology called single cell and interestingly it doesn’t have much of a price premium and in fact is at at discount right now to other brand name flash drives.
