USB Flash Drive Life Varies Up To 10 Times 192
Lucas123 writes "Differences in the type of memory and I/O controllers used in USB drives can make one device perform two or three times faster and last 10 times longer than another, even if both sport the USB 2.0 logo, according to a Computerworld story. While a slow USB drive may be fine for moving a few dozen megabytes of files around, when you get into larger data transfers, that's when bandwidth contrictions become noticeable. In 2009, controller manufacturers are expected to begin shipping drives with dual- and even four-channel controllers, which will increase speeds even for slower drives."

I have those fantasies too. I also figure that if you went far enough back in time, they would build a bridge out of you, or burn you, in about two seconds after you announce: "Behold filthy peasants; the calculator from the future!" ;-D Recommended reading on the subject:
