Flash player with fastest sync?

Of modern Flash MP3 players, which one of them has the fastest throughput when syncing, or just writing files to it?

I have an iAudio/Cowon G3 player, and I love it's tiny form factor and features, but it's syncing/uploading seems pretty slow.

Am I just seeing the limitations of a USB2 connection, do some players have a better, faster USB2 implementation and faster writing to the flash?

I have found both the iPod Mini and the iPod Shuffle to be fairly slow. I also have a Motorola phone that can save mp3's and that is even slower.

I think it is a limitation combination of USB transfer speeds and the type of file (compressed music file) and the device.

I have external USB Hard Drive Storage and the transfer rate to these is a lot faster than to MP3 players.
