Despite a very strong sequential read speed of 153 MB/s, we are disappointed with this drive. Given its high price point we expect a more symmetrical read/write performance profile. The drive is not alone in this regard, all to often manufacturers focus on headline speeds rather than factors that will impact real world performance. The drive has no indicator light, is priced relatively highly and has below average write speeds. At this time there are far better deals to be had in the market. [Aug '12USBFlashPro]
We highlight the best USB flash drive in terms of balanced performance and value for money using current prices, sequential read, sequential write , 4k read and 4k write speed. The speeds are combined to form a single effective speed which measures performance for tasks such as copying photos, music and videos. Effective speed is adjusted by current price and capacity to yield value for money. Finally thousands of individual user ratings are used to validate our benchmark figures. [USBFlashPro]
