The 32GB Datatraveler G4 has a below average performance profile for a 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive but it's priced aggressively so it still represents reasonable value for money. With sequential read/write speeds of 77/32 MB/s the G4 sits near the bottom of the pack for sequential performance. Small file 4K performance is relatively better with read/write speeds of 7.5/0.32 MB/s but again far from class leading. Overall the Datatraveler G4 scored an effective speed of 47.5 MB/s which ranks it 19th out of 25 32GB USB 3.0 Flash drives. The highlight of the G4 is its superbly low price point, a lot of 16 and 8GB drives cost more. If you plan to use the drive regularly it's certainly worth spending a little more but otherwise the G4 is a reasonable option. [Mar '14 USBFlashPro]

The 32GB Sandisk Ultra Fit has both a tiny form factor and a respectable performance profile. With peak sequential read/write speeds of 136/55 MBps and peak 4K read/writes of 6.6/2.0 MBps the 32GB Ultra Fit sits amongst the top 25% of 32GB flash drives. In terms of value for money the Ultra fit fares even better and is bested only by the Sandisk Extreme. Comparing the 32GB Extreme and Ultra Fit shows that the Extreme has over double the effective speed yet the extreme is only 32% more expensive than the Ultra Fit. To conclude, the 32GB Ultra Fit has good peak performance (sustained performance is far less impressive) but its key strengths are its tiny form factor and reasonable price tag. [Oct '14 USBFlashPro]
