My memory must be faulty, I don't see how it can sample faster than 50KHz.

Data sheet here.  Didn't see an explicit specification for the a/d,
conversion time is
less than 10 microseconds, you have to use DMA to get the max performance.
I'm not sure what you would do with that much data, it seems like
there isn't enough
processor to handle that, not to mention the communications.
