Based on the same idea as a USB 3 stick plugged-in, it looks that way in theory more than a reason not to. You saw the numbers on my PNY Turbo, it's faster than one efficient, highly optimized Hitachi hard drive specified as USB 2.0. Me? I say pull the trigger x2, you only live once. You'll probably use it anyway in the near future. THEN test those SD cards claiming 90 MB/s and seeby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

Your guess is as good as mine. I'll say this though, when USB receptacles are on a PCI(e) card like that, remember that PNY Turbo we looked at? That won't plug in because it's too big! The limits of the card edge apply to any USB stick that's wide. So in my case adding the switchbox is the way to do that.

Excuse me for the addendum, but I'm pretty sure the speed differences with the new USB 3.0 card us due to antivirus (Avast) running after the first measurements were made. The USB 2.0 speed tests certainly had antivirus off. That's Windows for you!by JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic
VIA, I can't speak at all for Linux but for Windows or OSX I'd avoid VIA like the plague. The tip-off is VIA offering your choice of Black or Bubonic (ohh!). I PM'ed you the one I bought, it claims to be generic but has the Fresco Logic FL1009, which is a 2-port version of the 4-port uasp version. I don't know if mine has uasp, but will say those speeds knock me out! Copyby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic
habibie the good news, after 12 days received a PCIE USB 3.0 card with two ports, cost $7.50 and has my WD My Passport Ultra 2TB reading 200 MB/sec and 400 MB peaks! This on a SATA II motherboard. Plain jane card though, no breakout box or provisions, but for the first time I see USB 3.0 can be a lot faster than my main router (D-link DIR 857) was IO'ing.

Hey habibie, That most recent seller of that, check the 23 comments (at this point). Seems they only sold one that's been commented on, the remote control was not the one advertised, and seller ignored that. All other sales at this point were USB 2.0 items at around 99 cents. 22 transactions of about $1 in 15 months. US-based seller referring economy-shipped items from China.

habibie I've been having those lately, where you think of something and it comes up like that. Many times in the past few weeks, and fortunately a lot of them witnessed where I'd say something and a seemingly impossible echo comes back from a different direction. Why these things happen I don't know. I DO think, like the scientists say there's nine or ten dimensions, one oby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic
Most of my Chinese orders I did get an email with tracking but only as it departed China. But yeah, if i had $100 to spend right now I'd order two, ten minutes after loading PayPal card. Which is a leap of faith, because for all I know nothing could come in or all the menus could be in Chinese. I just wrote out $100.00 on a ToDo list, and if it's meant to be it'll happen.

QuoteManually setting the date of your iPhone or iPad to 1 January 1970, or tricking your friends into doing it, will cause it to get permanently stuck while trying to boot back up if it’s switched off.

@ Gravelrash: point well taken! @ bobafetthotmail: you exhaustively nailed it. Thanks! @ habibie: that exact PNY Turbo 64GB is great for USB 2.0 for 1 1/2 years now. Tested using USBDeview it reads at 31.70 MB/Sec and writes at 19.04 MB/Sec. Happens to be the fastest USB stick I've ever tested on a USB 2.0 computer.

Yeah thanks, that's what I was asking about. Knock on wood I'd like a little of both, similar to yours and definitely some of this: Maybe sooner or later they'll make the same thing for SATA drives, a switch for each drive. I'd been stressing whether to throw my efforts into a SATA system or USB 3.0, but a little of both is more versatile and corresponds to sales. Againby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

No clue here, nor if it's a Wikipedia urban legend in the making. My first impulse ws to think someone is confusing the NTFS file system and how some stuff is off limits, but I know Windows by default has a Service running in the background that deals with portable devices for the purpose of DRM. I always turn that off anyway, but I don't know if this applies at all to Linux, nor if a fby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

Gents, did you know, concerning SD Cards: "All cards incorporate DRM copy-protection. Roughly 10% of the storage capacity of an SD card is a "Protected Area" not available to the user, but is used by the on-card processor to verify the identity of an application program that it then allows to read protected content. The card prohibits other accesses, such as users trying to makeby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic
I concur, the Far East is understanding of that kind of thing, like a bad RAM stick I had. They believed me and sent another one that was good.

That's awesome testing you did, and otherwise a real fascinating read. The parts I understand are the shielding and jitter. I even wonder if Apple's shielding is iron-based (EMI), copper-based (RFI) or both: mu metal.
