I have been curiously eying all the forms of portable storage to hit the market over the past few years. Devices such as the 'Thumb Drives', SD cards, Secure memory, and USB storage drives. I was never really compelled to get one when the storage sizes were rather small (8mb up to 128mb). Now the capacities have gotten to where I feel they are becoming more reasonable – 1GB and 2GB being more common. Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 2 Avi Player.

But still, I could live without them. Enter Victorinox with their SWISSBIT USB 2.0 storage in a Swiss Army Knife. I saw a nice RED model with the usual knife, file, scissors, additional Pen and small red LED. This was cool, but I could only find the 256MB model in local stores. But then Best Buy was selling a lamer silver model with 1GB storage. I bought both, and swapped the 1GB into the RED body and put the 256MB into the silver.

Now – I was a little curious when I noticed that the storage device was formatted in the old Microsoft FAT scheme. I recall how it was considered slow and inefficient use of storage devices (Hard Drives in particular). I decided to try reformatting my SwissBit 1GB to NTFS and see if it improved things. NOTE – Formatting your SwissBit to NTFS requires you to go into the HARDWARE DEVICE property pages and, on the POLICIES tab, selecting 'Optimize for PERFORMANCE' versus 'Optimize For QUICK REMOVAL'. This is ILL ADVISED because if you were to remove the storage device before writing is completed (Performance = Write Caching/Delayed Writes), you could corrupt the data.

So – I decided to do the experimentation with NTFS on my 1GB SwissBit USB 2.0 device. While I was at it, I decided to try the second generation FAT format called FAT32 as well.
