Flash Drive vs. Hard Drive

[fezident]

<p>Is a Flash-drive &quot;faster&quot; than a Hard-drive?&nbsp; </p><p>The iPod Nano has a flash drive.&nbsp; Does that mean that it can access a song faster than an iPod mini, which has a &quot;regular&quot; hard drive?&nbsp; </p><p>Does this also mean that, since there is nothing spinning or moving inside, that the Nano is (virtually) skip-free?</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Yeah since there is no moving parts flash drive players are a lot
better for people who like to workout and listen to their MP3
players.&nbsp; They're not going to skip or break from regular movement.<br />

Flash drives also use less power the hard drives increasing battery life since there is no disc to spin, on a side note expect to see flash drive based laptops in the near future.

JUST SAY NO.....to pimping

<p>Thanks guys.</p><p>And what about the speed when accessing songs?&nbsp; Will a Flash drive find a stored song faster than a regular hard drive??</p><p>In some live band situations, an iPod (mini or 20gb) is used to store the backing tracks.&nbsp; Sometimes, when the drummer has to cue up a track, it takes an honest 5 seconds (which is a lifetime of dead-air on stage).&nbsp; Do you think the Flash drive iPod would take less time to cue?? The same?&nbsp; MORE time??</p><p>Thanks.</p>

A flash player would be faster. The only problem
with flash memory is that it gets incredibly expensive to get up to the
storage space of a 30GB iPod.<br />

there is no reason a hard dribe should take 5 seconds to get a song, there is another problem there. Flash is faster than the fastest hard driver, it also uses 30 times less enegery
