    It's too slow :(
    Peak write 8MB/s, maybe 1MB/s in real world. 1x1024x16 seconds to fill this drive to 100%. Non-sense.
    I'm searching for a really fast flash drive, and there are no good offers on the market :( Ready to buy something like 2-8GB, but veeeery fast, SLC.

    I found a Kingston (Lifetime warranty) 16 gigger from Microcenter yesterday for $19.99 + tax :)

    We have two of these on order since this morning.
    SHOULD be small enough to use in the side USB port of our units and keep the door closed..
    Writes are a bit slow, but since we will be using them to boot ISO files off em, the read speed is what matters.
