FWIW, since I wanted to move an AVI file from my MacBook to one of my
desktop hard drives, I measured the transfer speeds of the old 1GB
Verbatim flash drive I used to move the file. (Would that be circa
2005?? I don't remember when 1GB was the current "cheap" flash
capacity).
write: 5.2 MiB/sec
read: 12.2 MiB/sec
As I said, transfer rates change with time as well as price. :-)
Wow. Quite a dramatic difference!
They still beat the heck out of a 1.44 MB floppy diskette, no?
I miss our paper tape reader/punch. As an adjunct to our ASR33, it
ran at 110 baud.
