I'm not sure. They use either RAM or ROM chips. Maybe the mfg site can better answer that. Tomshardware.com may also be of some help. I would guess that it is RAM chips though.i just have a question

The savvy user will partition a harddrive so the O/S and data are separated. This way defragmenting goes real quick and your data is protected if your O/S crashes.whatever computer you're using, no matter how big the hd, you should defrag at least once every 2 weeks. when its been as long as 2 months, you can actually see your computer getting slower and a 40 gig HD can take up to an hour to completely defrag
The throughput speed of a USB port isn't as good as the bus speed on your motherboard(and that will change in the future). It's an inherent problem with USB drives. Manufacturers tried solving this with USB 2.0 which is faster.btw,
i have a 256mb (flash memory) mp3 player which i can store any type of file on it. maybe its just the USB cable that takes so long, but its really slow. to transfer a full 256 mb takes up to 6 min.
peace
