High Speed USB Memory Sticks

If you have better things to do than waiting for a backup to a slow memory stick to finish, get one of these. I've seen some 4GB memory sticks take 20 minutes to fill, and the owner actually thinks this is OK - because that's the way it's always been. There is a better way, and these drives are some of those ways.

I like these drives because they are much faster than what most people use, which tend to be an impulse buy at some office store or checkout counter, and done without reviewing the actual performance specifications of the drive.

Here is an 8gig drives which we recommend:

Patriot Xporter XT Rage USB2.0

To put the speeds into useful terms, like a 4GB file copy or backup:
a 5 MB/s drive will complete in about 14 minutes,
a 10 MB/s drive will complete in about 7 minutes,
a 15 MB/s drive will complete in about 4.5 minutes
a 20 MB/s drive will complete in about 3.5 minutes
a 25 MB/s drive will complete in about 2.5 minutes
a 30 MB/s drive will complete in a little over 2 minutes.
The fastest 55 MB/s drive will complete in under 1.5 minutes.

The read and write transfer rates are expressed in millions of bytes (megabytes) per second (MB/s). Note that there are 8 bits in a byte, 4 bits in a nybble, and most over-the-counter USB drives a fraction of the speed of these drives.
