The current ReadyBoost champ

Apacer's Handy Steno 2.0 USB flash drive (1GB, in this case) delivers the fastest ReadyBoost performance scores I've seen. These numbers are roughly twice the performance of the next fastest drive.

Most mfrs list maximum sequential read times, which doesn't help with ReadyBoost.

Go to the original post and scroll to the end, where you can find a list of drives that have passed the tests.

Any quick way to determine ReadyBoost numbers/capability before buying flash drives? Any correlation between price and performance?
Thanks,
Scott
