USB Flash Drive suggestion, Questions about read write speeds

[SamIchi]

Hey guys,

I need a new USB flash drive for my keychain, my current one has crapped out. I want something really tiny. Most of the small ones don't have great reviews, or don't seem rugged enough to be on my keychain.

I did find this MicroSD card reader,

I was thinking of getting that and then getting a micro sd

My question is whether or not that will be comparable to a regular usb flash drive. I found this table:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_memory_cards
But I'm not sure how to read the read write speed. Higher the better right? Are those numbers right for the USB? USB is 1-40 while the MicroSD is 133/133? over 3 times faster?

I probably dont' really need speed specific, but I would like to know.

If it suits your needs, skip the USB drive and go with Dropbox. I haven't used a USB key since getting it.

I think there is a free app for that in the app store if I'm not mistaken. But you probably want a real flash drive.

Here's a nice one. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruze...ZBG0/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1321051460&sr=8-9
