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:
