Here's what I just found out about flashdrive.

Did you know that windows cannot see more than ONE partition on a flashdrive? That may also be true with SD card as well.

Flashdrive are very slow in "write" compare to Hdd. Hdd. is 4-5 times faster.

This can also be true for USB Hard Disks.

I notice this when I was doing cloning with Apricorn.

Flashdrive is so cheap, I thought that's the way to go. After cloning windows shown only one partition so I thought the thing wasn't working. It turn out it was windows problem. With PartMagic, I can see it was ok.
