| 706068 | 2008-09-19 03:03:00 | Because its not quite there yet: "On the one hand, it was obvious that any decent flash-based storage device can deliver far better transfer rates than a 10-year old hard drive: 12.4 MB/s maximum transfer rates are awful, and the Pico C flash drive flash drive clearly earns a victory here. However, we found it shocking to see the difference in I/O performance." But it will be....................eventually. |

| 706069 | 2008-09-19 03:13:00 | Weird test: a ten year old 10GB HDD against an 8GB Flash Drive. Who still uses a hard drive that they first got 10 years ago?? Yeah, OK, some smart arse is going to post that they still use their 14 year old 4GB drive, but you get my point! I have a 16GB U3 flash drive - I would be far more interested in a test between a large capacity USB flash drive, an internal flash drive (like in the EeePC) and a modern HDD. When you're looking at storage media, you don't just look at capacity, but R/W times... |
