I have a A-DATA My Flash USB 2.0 USB 2 GB Drive, but it took me forever to install the portableapps suite. I also notice there is a decent delay on using portable firefox. i have only tried it once though, so im not sure if this is always the case. do i need a better thumbdrive?
Long installs are normal. 10-15 minutes. It takes a long time to copy that many files over.
