USB 3.0 flash drives speeds

[jalbertini]

Hello,
Is there any difference among 3.0 flash drives in terms of speed?
Is encryption available on them all?
How does encryption affect speed?
Thank you

Truecrypt is a good freeware encryption solution

Encryption can slow things down but it depends on exactly how you use it.
