My $474 SSD writes small, queued files 29 times faster than my $99 thumb drive,
215 times faster* than Damien's $60 thumb drive ( 346.152 / 1.607 ).
[ Damien is a housemate of mine ]

Test: 100 megabytes, twice, CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3 x64; Windows 8, x64.

C: My $474 SSD drive ( OCZ Vertex 4 SATA III, 256 Gigs ).
D: My $99 thumb drive ( SanDisk Extreme Pro, 128 Gigs ).
E: Damien's $60 thumb drive ( 128 Gigs ).

My RAM is about 20 gigabytes/second.

P.S. I have 16 gigs of 1.9 gigaHz RAM, so I made "PageFile.SYS" vary 
between 800 and 4,000 megabytes, instead of the default ( 16 gigabytes ).

  Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings 
  -> "Advanced" tab -> "Preformance Otioins" -> "Advanced" tab -> Virtual Memory.

Also, "hiberfil.sys" is now gone ( I ran "powercfg -h off" ).
