I've been on the hunt for a USB flash drive that is good (relatively speaking) for OS duty (Ubuntu specifically, but that should be irrelevant to this discussion). This means good speed when it comes to reading/writing small files. Most of the flash drives out there advertize very high transfer speeds, but it only applies to large files. They perform excruciatingly slow when it comes to small (4K) files. Such is the case with my Silicon Power 32GB drive.
Although this comparison is a bit dated, it shows that SanDisk Extreme is pretty good at reading/writing random small files:

Does anyone have links to other similar tests done in recent past or can suggest other such drives based on personal experience?
Thanks!
