Around 15 months ago, when the 64GB Triton was released, it had one of the highest write speeds (177 MB/s) available on a consumer flash drive. Despite its great sequential performance and superb aesthetics its RRP of £129.99 priced the drive out of the mainstream flash drive market at that time. Today the same drive is available on Amazon for around £80 but the USB 3.0 flash drive landscape has changed significantly over the last 15 months. There are now competitors, such as the 64GB Sandisk Extreme, with both better overall performance and a lower price point than the 64GB Triton. Lexar will release an new range of faster P10 flash drives in the next few months, these newer drives promise to deliver record breaking performance. [Mar '13USBFlashPro]
The 32GB Jumpdrive P10 is one of the fastest flash drives I have seen in 2013. The P10 has exactly the same, superb, physical construction as its predecessor, the Jumpdrive Triton. Internally the 32 GB version of the P10 has been significantly upgraded and now yields approximately 75% better overall performance than the Triton. Lexar have managed to do this without a significant price increase which is welcome news considering the already relatively high price of the Triton. Unfortunately it's not all good news because despite its record breaking sequential speeds the P10, like the Triton, struggles in the area of small 4K random writes. If you are planning to use this drive to copy small files or to host applications you will likely be disappointed otherwise for tasks such as copying video and audio files this is one of the fastest flash drives you can currently buy.

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]
