Flash Drive Generation

Description

First Flash drives were first prepared for commercial sale in 2000, and had a storage capacity of only a few MB. This first generation of flash drives was a revolution in portable storage for its time, but was quickly eclipsed in terms of functionality and storage capacity.
Second (USB 2.0) The second generation of USB flash drives offers vastly improved transfer rates and significantly greater storage capacities than the first wave. Upper-end flash 2.0 drives are capable of writing data at nearly 20 times the rate of the earliest units, and are able to store several GB instead of MB.
Third (USB 3.0) USB 3.0 flash drives again offer a marked increase in storage capacity and transfer rate over their predecessors, and are able to read and write data at approximately 10 times the rate of 2.0.
