Gizmag reports that Samsung is expected to be the first company to offer for sale a new type of memory card, Universal Flash Storage. The new cards, which follow a JEDEC standard, have the same size and shape as microSD cards but are electrically incompatible with them.

Samsung claims a "sequential read speed of 530 megabytes per second (MB/s)" and, for the 256 GB card (the largest capacity), a "170 MB/s sequential write speed" and "35,000 random IOPS." Gizmag likened the speeds to those obtainable with SSDs. Cards with capacities as small as 32 GB will be offered.

    since I want my memory stick back exactly as it were.

    Then you won't be able to use the removable media for transfer (this includes archival).
    Even more, you won;t be able to use it for long term backup purposes - at least not longer than the life of your user account that created the files.

    Look, the problem is not with UNIX, but inherently to the "FS for active use and access control enabled" vs "FS for transfer".
    If you want to have both in the same time, the price to pay is a "never expiring and never repeated User Ides" (yes, you can have many, but all related to you and to you only for the entire life). You sure you want this?
