Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024
Sequential Read Average: 160 MB/s
Sequential Write Average: 68 MB/s
Random Read Average: 9 MB/s
Random Write Average: 2.5 MB/s
In comparison, these are the benchmarks for a Sandisk 32GB flash drive:
Sequential Read Average: 160 MB/s
Sequential Write Average: 47 MB/s
Random Read Average: 7 MB/s
Random Write Average: 1.5 MB/s
So it performed slightly better on random read/writes, but much better on sequential reads. Advertised speeds are usually for sequential operations. If you are writing a lot of small files in one operation, write speeds will be slower since system has to write entries in the directory for each file, reducing overall throughput.
The drive did get a bit warm (not hot, but noticeably warm) after running the benchmarks, but the case is metal, and if it was encased in plastic, as many other flash drives, one might not notice. I guess having exposed metal case helps with cooling. Will have to see how it holds up to writing a full 2 hour movie.
All tests were done on new, freshly formatted (e.g. empty) flash drives.
So in summary, its a decent drive. Noting to 'write home about' but the price was decent.
I hope that I never really have to use the flash drive, but I'm not concerned about the possibility of a crash or virus infection, because I have all of my files backed up on the drive.
The only issue I have with the flash drive is how small it is. I appreciate the technology to make the drive small and efficient, but I am prone to losing things for various reasons. Thus, I would prefer it to be a little larger, making it easier to find. Just for thought, maybe it can be constructed in bright colors to make it easier to see and find. Otherwise, it is a good buy for the price and performs exceptionally. I recommend the SanDisk 16GB Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive for backup and storage of data.
