Flash Drive - USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ?
• Not all flash drives are created equal
• Differences in quality of controller chips and flash memory
• Both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives vary greatly in speed
• However, when connected to a USB 2.0 interface, the worst USB 3.0 drive will always outperform the best USB 2.0 drive
• Flash Drive Recommendation:
