A community portal about USB flash drive with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: USB flash drives are NAND -type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB interface. They are typically small, lightweight, removable and rewritable. As of November 2006, memory capacities for USB Flash Drives currently are sold from 32 megabytes up to 64 gigabytes . Capacity is limited only by current flash memory densities, although cost per megabyte may increase rapidly at higher capacities due to the expensive components.

SanDisk Introduces ExtremeFFS that will increase the speed of SSDs by 100x

SanDisk has developed an advanced flash filesystem that will have the potential to increase the operation of next generation Solid State Drives by 100 times over existing systems.

Called ExtremeFFS, Sandisk’s new technology operates on a page-based algorithm, which means there is no fixed coupling between physical and logical location.  When data needs to be written, the drive will put it where it is most convenient and efficient, resulting to tremendous improvement in random write performance by up to 100 times.

Sandisk will ship products carrying the ExtremeFFS technology sometime next year.
