You do not know much about consumers. There does not need to be a point.
Also, making them will bring down certain component prices on anything that differs from 2.0, like say... the connector or such the like. Not that anything differs.
Still, the size is already shrank. The only thing left is to make it read and write fast.
If you build it, it will get bought...

Those are the ones I use too, the reason is perhaps that a norma DVD fits on one :-) They are also much faster then the 4GB from the same manufacturer. I have an old 4GB USB stick with the FLASH memory backup of my eeePC too. Smaller ones are next to useless. Also have some early 32 MB memory cards for a DMP100 mp3 player.... Probably never to be used again, although that player still works fine.

No, the most wanted are 256GB :-) The most affordable are 8GB

I have a 128MB CF laying around somewhere. Came with my camera. Good thing the camera supports 1GB cards. It's still CF though...

Actually that is exactly what Akamai does for a living. Had been for years.
The only benefit with USB3 flash would be if the flash was seriously fast it could then replace a HDD and SATA

All my code from 1973 to 1978 fitted on a 2MB RK05 - portable but only just.
While I do have the odd 4, 8 & 16GB flash drives, I find that a 320 GB 2.5" hard drive pretty adequate for my needs at the moment.
Until you drop it. I use a rubber coated Corsair

A decent speed stick could completely replace one's "RAMdisk" or Virtual memory or what the current nom de plume is.
Then applications would have to get completely revamped to use up available RAM better as well as the new virtual areas, and what form of use (what code goes where) could be developed to optimize it.
We could just bypass PCI altogether and hang USB 3 sticks all around the CPU. Hell, we could even get rid of conventional RAM.
I have the 8GB speedy devil that is ruggedized, and can go down to
600ft of water. It could handle an airline crash.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
