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 '14USBFlashPro]
The 16GB DataTraveler Mini 3.0 has a tiny form factor, manages passable read speeds and is priced aggressively. With sequential read/write speeds of 76/8.9 MB/s the DataTraveler Mini has an acceptable read speed but a very poor write speed. At 8.9 MB/s a 4.5GB DVD would take a very painful ten minutes to transfer. Small file 4K speeds are better and clocked in at 6.9/0.25 MB/s which is average for a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive. The best thing the DataTraveler Mini has going for it is its price point which is very reasonable. Overall the DataTraveler Mini 3.0 is let down by its unforgivably poor write speed which results in an effective speed rating of just 41.1 MB/s, barely above USB 2.0 levels. [Mar '14USBFlashPro]
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]
