I put materials on DVD occasionally, as I get sick of
multiplexing a small collection of pretty-awful USB
sticks for this work.

The Macrium got its own USB stick, so that one is static
and it's fast for booting. But if I'm testing new OSes,
and using USB sticks, the time to load the ISO onto
some of the sticks, it's pretty slow.

My computer store used to stock Extreme Pro type devices,
and those could write at least 100MB/sec. Those were worth
having. But some of the TLC ones here have dropped
to 1.5MB/sec, as the stick has only had a small handful of
ISOs on it and it's already almost dead.

The USB sticks are just... dreary. It's always a rainy day
in USB-stick-land. Resorting to DVD, shows how pissed off
I am, with the USB stick behavior.

My OCZ Rally2 stick, it's an MLC one as far as I know,
and it is a model citizen. The Rally2 reads and writes at
the same speed. It isn't the "write at 10MB/sec, read at 100MB/sec"
routine. But the speed is consistent with older flash technology.

If only we could have more 8GB SLC sticks or MLC sticks, for test OSes...

Micron did list a 32GB SLC chip (sorta like chip porn), but
there is no evidence that ever shipped in volume. Maybe it
got listed, as a test marketing scheme, to see if there
was a business case for making one.
