"I do think that the USB 2.0 MemoryBank will be extraordinarily useful. My family is big on MP3 players, such as e.Digital's MXP 100, which I've written about previously (see "Goin' mobile," December 2001). But filling that player's IBM Microdrive isn't quick via its integrated USB 1.1 link, and the 256-Mbyte CompactFlash cards take a while too. In contrast, a speedy FireWire connection is one of the features that's made Apple's iPod a success. A product like the MemoryBank will bring hard-disk-like data rates to the task of writing music to CompactFlash cards."http://www.e-insite.net/index.asp?layout=article&articleId=CA203871&title=Search+Results&...
