I'm not surprised about the CDROM speeds - they're about the same as a
floppy disk (...anybody remember floppy disks?). I can't find a good
reference for UBC other than the U of British Columbia, but if you
meant to say USB then you should consider switching to USB 2.0. The
speed difference is dramatic. USB 1.1 transfer speeds are limited to
12MBits/second, while USB 2.0 can reach 480MBits/second. That should
cut your minute down to a couple of seconds.
I could be mistaken, but I believe the difference is also a function of
the type of RAM used in flash drives, since non-volatile RAM is slower
than the type we use in computer memory. I.e., a USB flash drive should
be expected to be slower than a USB hard drive.
Or so I think.
Anyone got the facts on the speed difference between Flash RAM and
normal RAM?
