Adata AUV128-32G-RBE

DashDrive UV128 USB 3.0 32GB

▲ 54988 ▼

Release date: Q1 2013.

Average Bench: 21.9% (200th of 639)

Based on 2,386 user benchmarks.  Device: VID 125f PID db8a Model: ADATA USB Flash Drive

The new Adata Dashdrive UV128 has a performance profile that closely matches its older, and recently rebranded, Dashdrive Elite S102 Pro sibling. Comparing the two shows that the drives are nearly identical except for form factor. Personally I prefer a retractable form factor as USB caps are easily lost. Overall in terms of performance the Dashdrive UV128 is slightly above average and in terms of value for money it is also reasonable. [Jul '13 USBFlashPro]

Real performances are far lower. Also unreliable. After few months gets installed as an "unknown device"

Literally the usage/write/read most of the time is freezed to 0%, so bad that the whole system becomes unresponsable until you remove it...Mabye it came up with defect but ｏｏｐｓ, ｍｙ ｆｌａｓｈ ｄｒｉｖｅ ｄｉｅｄ， ａｎｄ ｔｈｅｎ ｉ ｌｏｓｔ ｍｙ ｄａｔａ．．． ｂｕｔ ｉ ｈａｖｅ ａ ａｎｔｉｖｉｒｕｓ！

ALL FAQs »

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
