The V3 MAX is Verbatim's 2013 upgrade to the Store n go range of high performance USB 3.0 Flash Drives. Verbatim have promised a blisteringly fast 175 Mbps read and 80 Mbps write speed for this flash drive. Considering our experience with the V3 Store n go which we reviewed last year, these figures may well prove to be conservative! We won't know for sure until we do a full review of the V3 MAX (still difficult to get hold of in the UK) but in the mean time, assuming Verbatim's figures are correct, this drive will be amongst the faster USB 3.0 Flash Drives we have reviewed. One area we will be watching closely is the real world copy speed, a test where the V3 Max's predecessor struggled. To conclude this drive promises to be one of the faster USB 3.0 Flash Drives on the market but at over £20 there is almost certainly better value for money elsewhere. [Jun '13USBFlashPro]
The Adata Dashdrive Elite S102 Pro 64GB has proven to be a popular USB 3.0 flash drive. I did a full review of the 16GB version back in 2012 and little has changed since then. The S102 Pro still has the same robust form factor and reasonable performance profile. The 64GB S102 Pro has sequential read/write speeds of 105/50 MBps which is exactly in line with the indicated speeds on Adata's website. Peak small 4K file performance is currently measuring 7.84/1.49 MB/s which is well above average for a 64GB flash drive. At present our users have only submit four benchmark samples for this model, the peak 4K speeds are likely to drop as we accumulate more samples. The 64GB S102 Pro's performace is largely in line with its 32GB sibling and it bests its 16GB sibling by around 30%. Overall the 64GB S102 Pro Dashdrive Elite represents good value for money.

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]
