    Which has a faster access rate? SD cards or Flash? Or which works better with Ready Boost? I made it a poll because people will probably have different opinions when numbers are missing

    Do remember SD is talking MB/s USB 2.0 is talking Mb/s and USB 2.0 never achieves full throughput, still think USB wins but do the math.

    True, i mainly wanted to know if the USB was much faster for the portability, a SD card doesn't stick out as much as a USB flash drive would ya know
