Way way less than that.

A gram of gold costs you like $40-50.

Mostly likely slow read/write speeds from your flash memory.

USB2 connections cap out at real one way speeds of like around 25MB/s if I remember correctly.  So it's not your connection but the flash drive itself.

Well, you wrote

"i added was a golden connection to it (and the data + and - wires are ENORMOUS)"

and the fact that you spent the whole thread arguing about the merits and whatnot of using real gold in motherboards, wee thought you meant you went and got real gold and replaced the pins/wires with it, or something like that.



And if you just found a USB head somewhere and replaced yours with it, that's probably not real gold, simply gold colored (most likely painted for the outside, and copper for the pins).
