In other, somewhat related, news - has anyone noticed there are 256GB usb sticks around (namely, Kingston has one)? Sure, they are expensive - but come on, 256GB! I wonder what are read/write speeds of those monsters. I have 16GB stick and it takes a mini eternity to copy stuff onto it.

I'm under the impression that current USB connections can not move data as fast as SATA links.

The drive probably only has 32GB on it... and dies by the time you transfer that much data on to it :\
