Having just done a review of the 16GB Sandisk Ultra which wasn't a great performer but still managed to represent reasonable value for money, I was expecting much the same from the 32GB Ultra. Generally speaking moving from the 16 to 32 GB capacity results in a doubling of the write speed. This was not the case for 32GB Ultra which had a performance profile that was almost identical to its 16GB sibling. As a consequence the 32GB Ultra is amongst the bottom 5% of 32GB Flash Drives in terms of performance and only slightly better in terms of value for money. There is no doubt that it's worth spending a little more on the superb 32GB Sandisk Extreme. [Feb '14 USBFlashPro]

The 16GB version of this drive currently ranks 4/27 in my USB 3.0 flash drive group test. The 32GB version has the same great aesthetics as its 16GB sibling but due to controller parallelization, write speed performance expectations double in this larger capacity category. Consequently the 32GB Triton no longer stands heads and shoulders above its competition in the sequential write speed tests. The Jumpdrive Triton 32GB still offers both reasonable performance and an extremely stylish metal chassis however in terms of value for money and outright performance it is difficult to justify. The new range of Lexar P10 drives should come to market later this year, they promise to have far stronger performance figures. [Mar '13 USBFlashPro]
