Both the SSD and the thumb drive I have are capable of reading data > 25MiB/s, so in the car, both are limited by USB speeds, not drive speeds.

And, unless you are connecting to your computer via SATA or eSATA, you will never even come close to fully utilizing that SSD bandwidth capabilities.
You didn't break it to me, I already know that. ;-)
