I wouldn't mind a thumb drive that has SSD speeds. There are some but they aren't what I call a thumb drive considering their size.

Already that's approaching reality anyway. Besides, trust me, copying a large file or folder to one of these USB3 devices is BLISS compared to ye olde thumbe.

Pick up a patriot magnum. I love my 64GB usb3.0. It's flat, though I'm not sure about a 128GB but it's a bit pricy anyway. Wider than normal but flat I think because of it. Allows you to fit it in between where you usually can't with most usb flash drives. This is about as thin as you can get I think in this size. Looking closer, it's a little bigger than the slot, but you could easily put two together in two slots on top of each other (I think...LOL).

VERY fast also. I'd say top 2 or 3 performance depending on data as long as you have usb 3.0 for ports too.

Well it's about time USB3.0 got it full bump out a flash drive, too bad well have to sort through chips and reviews instead of just buying any old USB3.0
