King Kong VS Godzilla USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Some thing about USB flash drive that I could never have enough.
The fastest of all was the King Kong (Patriot Supersonic Magnum). Until now came along the Godzilla (Sandisk Extreme) which recently accquired to my collection.
Here is a few comparisons between the two MOA.
Patriot is very fast but lacks write speed and small file write.
Sandisk is not quite as fast as the Patriot in read...but the its WRITE speed is simply amazing. WOW!

"Godzilla" Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 is highly recommended if USB 3.0 is on your shopping list.

Nice results for both of these flash drives.
I'm using mainly 1st gen PQI 32GB SSD with USB 2.0 port that is enough for me and has good small file/random transfers but this Sandisk is really interesting.
