How is a flash drive with no moving parts slower than a HDD that is spinning with a head that has to physically move across the sectors to read the data?
Bkmk for a future try at Linux...
HDD’s spin at a high velocity, this is why laptops are lighter when they are on, it distorts gravity with such a spin.

The read/write speed is slower for a flash due to the mother-board architecture.
Install your OS onto a flash and see for yourself.
