Fundamentally new live flash drive, similar to a hard disk.

I went on business now. On the way back, some kind of drunk uncle offered me to buy a USB flash drive (a glance at the packaging showed - USB key to 1Gb, Transcend). I reflexively refused (I hate street traders in general). But when he said after me that, supposedly, I was in vain, he had a fundamentally new chip architecture there, I stopped and asked me to tell in more detail.
It turned out this. It turns out that old flash drives are like floppy disks, you cannot install them from them, let alone use fancy software. And with this fundamentally new - you can. Because it is like a hard disk. And the architecture is close to the processor. Moreover, you can still a lot of things that can not be with the old. Since the memory is alive here.
Everything said above is a slightly abbreviated retelling of the explanations of this uncle (shortened because he repeated everything two and a half times). I have not changed anything. The terms are preserved, the wording is also.
Such are the cases. I just forgot to ask for the price. But in general - a tempting offer. Live, similar at the same time to the processor and hard disk flash drive with a fundamentally new chip architecture. Cool.

PS I just thought that this is all - a fundamentally new phenomenon. Previously, flash drives on the street did not sell. Apparently, the age of high technology has really come.

PPS Or maybe it's street magic? And the flash drive is really alive? :)
