   HG>Well, you are a step ahead of me then. So far I haven't experienced the   
   HG>flash drives.   
      
   TW> Their small size for transfers of files to other locations is nice.   
   TW> Adn the USB 3 technology is almsot as fast as a Hard Drive.   
      
   The USB thumb sticks are better in that they don't need any refresh   
   cycles.   
      
   You wrote that the SSD disks had to be kept alive by activating them   
   every once in a while.
