I wonder why the SSD is faster than a similar (or even small) USB stick, given the underlying media technology?
Two reasons. One, that SATA can send data faster than USB2, and without an intermediary. On the other hand, the SSD is designed for lots of writing, at random; if the writing is sequential, speed is not that great (depends on brand/model).
A rotating disk on USB writes faster than a USB stick...
I think the real reason is simply money. They put better parts in SSD than in thumb drives. Even the USB3 Sandisk thumb drives I buy are "slow". Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
