Just bought one.
Liberty is the greatest measure of equality.

I paid $14 for a 2GB Micro drive...this is betta, IMO.

Ok I am ducking and running for cover.

This is not a USB flash drive, but a USB connected portable micro-drive. Notice the RPM speed rating? That means it's one of last year's close-outs.
The 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drives are coing down in price, but the best prices I've seen for teh flash drives in 4GB are around US$40. The flash drives are MUCH faster than the portable micro-drives.
Just FYI. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but there is a difference. Personally, I'm waiting for the 16 GB USB 2.0 flash drives to come in under US$100 which should be this quarter.

If my limited computer knowlege is correct shouldn't the following be true:
Flash drives are essentially the same as RAM.
So if we place the operating system on the PC HARD DRIVE and all Applications and Data on Flash drive, you should see a speed increase?

Or install your OS directly to the flash drive and watch everything go much faster. Of course flash drives don't hold up as well as platter-based drive technology, so you'll tend to wear out your flash drive faster than you'd wear out a comparably-sized platter-based drive.
Actually, I prefer to run portable applications off of my flash drive (http://portableapps.com ) such as ThunderBird and FireFox. That way I can take my thumbdrive anywhere and have the correct version of the apps as well as the data with me at all times. I leave the OS on the hard drive for now for the simplicity.
