[PLUG] flash drives for linux question

You have many variables in determining what the actual transfer rate.
It is not just the OS and the flash drive, but for usb the connection is a
big variable too.
When I was doing functional testing, the test suite would show a large
number of retries for what appeared to be a good connection.
Re-inserting the usb connection could change the number of retries in either
direction.

Subject: [PLUG] flash drives for linux question

Hello all:

I am trying to find a good flash drive (8 to 32 gig size) that is
formattable to ext2 (from the usual ntfs)

By past experience I have also found that copying small files onto the vob
seems very slow.

Has anyone had good experience with a vob that lives up to its reputed USB
2.0 speed and can be (re)formatted to the linux world?

Walking into your usual supermarket type electronics store only seems to net
sales hype, usually far removed from reality.

Randall
