Hi-speed USB2 Flash Drive Round-Up

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday June 3, 2004 @05:11AM from the i-hid-it-in-my-space-cavity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ars Technica has a USB 2.0 Flash drive review featuring 8 drives from different manufacturers. What's so interesting about the review is that not all Flash drives are created equal. Some have very unique features while some are clearly better than others. They also took a detailed look inside one of the drives as well as put two drives in a RAID-0 array (a la Mac OS X). Now that's cool!"

Some parts of the past must be preserved, and some of the future prevented at all costs.

RAID Array? Afraid not... by loose+electron · 2004-06-03 05:24 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Last time I checked, RAID still stood for

"Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks"

So where is the spinning magnetic media?

This seems to show some of the microsoft influence, where every storage medium plugged into the PC is defined as a disk drive.

I'll never read it. Why do you post links to webpages that force us to give our email addresses?
Very unique? by Anonymous Coward · 2004-06-03 05:43 · Score: -1, Offtopic

> Some have very unique features

Something can't be 'very unique'. Nor can it be 'quite unique', 'almost unique' or anything besides either 'unique' or 'not unique'.

Sometimes I feel I must be nearly unique in knowing this.
