USB 2.0 really is fast. If a mp3 file of 5 MB can be copied into a pen drive in a matter of seconds, why does he think that it can't handle a slower read operation? (A song of 5MB takes about 4 minutes to play right)

You are true in what you are saying, but imagine a case where the data is flowing continously (for hours together). Even if you copy the data worth 4 GB in one go, it only takes 5 min. Continuous operation makes the pen drive damn hot because the poor chip inside never knew that it would be put to such labour when out of the packing!
