Operations Per Second
Getting further away from the intent of portable drives, input/output operations per second are most important for servers. However, it’s still part of our benchmark set and we expect that drives designed expressly for portability will perform worse in this area.
The actual results are split between four out of five drives, with the tiny USB 3.0 Express Drive falling out of the running.

nice review..thanks toms
Another proof of ever growing nature of techonology..
Which is the mystery card?
BTW, I liked Super Talent Super crypt, despite being slower than OCZ and PQI, it is the size I would be comfortable carrying in my pocket.
I know these technologies are more toward the "bleeding edge," but it's nice to know that manufacturers see it as enough of a market to start making products. Maybe USB 3.0 will make it mainstream relatively soon.
Would you be able to use the 128GB as a boot drive for win7 and how would they fall in price/performance between sata ssd and a VelociRaptor?
Where's the hint on the upcoming graphics test?
can you play a game like crysis or even warcraft 2 well straight out of this ssd with a no cd crack?

I have been saying this to people for years, that one day you will have your whole PC installation on a flash drive. Just plug into a PC, boot from the flash drive and everything is there.
Too bad it will still be some time before usb 3.0 will become mainstream and even longer for extremely good drives to come out
a cool drive
I've read that the SuperTalent Express drive runs very hot. Did you notice this, and would it be a problem?

The big SuperTalent drive was warm, but I don't see that as being a problem. None of the drives were uncomfortably hot.
Great article. With flash drives becoming more popular, it's good to know which ones are the best to go with.
Please share with us what's the file system used on the drives in this review(FAT32 or NTFS) & were they tested with the default filesystems that they were shipped with?
The reason for asking is cos the FS will affect the performance.
