You should stick to something you know!

You're exactly right flash drives are not faster than hard drives.

Cost of flash memory is still the issue with thumb drives. Is there anything faster than flash? NO.......

Why should you care?

These flash-based drives have several advantages over traditional mechanical hard drives:

* Better reliability - Big improvement here. No moving parts means less drive failures.
* Improved performance - These drives offer better overall performance and faster boot times.
* Less noise - Again, no moving parts is a good thing.

Today, we're selling them on our ultra-mobile notebook the Latitude D420 and the D620 ATG semi-rugged notebooks.


And some here would rather have a coffee cup than a cheap ole flash drive......
