Fast flash drive full#

I am pretty happy with the results.Īs you can tell from this, I did CrystalDiskMark on the 16GB flash drive I was using, and the new Patriot 64GB flash drive which was much faster in all areas except random read times. Well I got the Patriot Supersonic 64GB today and have been testing it for the last hour or so. Special thanks to volcanoscout for taking so much time to help me with this, and I'm sorry for not having looked closer the first time cause if I had I would of saved you about two hours. So it looks like it was probably the best drive all along, and I plan to go buy one in just a few minutes. Not only that, but its nearly half the price and has 3.0 performance if I ever want to use it for something else. Its not as consistent as the Transcend flash drive as some people put its performance only about 29MBps, but I find more reviews that reported it getting closer to 38MBps. Both have their prices gouged a bit also, which I was surprised about because I would of expected the USB 2.0 drives to be cheaper.Īnyways seeing all this and not able to find them cheaper, (volcanoscout may kill me) I looked closer at user reviews of the Rage Supersonic USB 3.0 flash drive. The same was true about the USB 2.0 RAGE drive. However, its sold out a lot of places and seems they have probably stopped producing them probably in favor for a USB 3.0 model. Of the remaining three, counting the two Patriot RAGE flash drives and the Transcend flash drive, the Transcend appears to be the fastest USB 2.0 flash drive with the most consistent performance and fastest performance. It seems of the four flash drives suggested they all come very close with the exception of the Sandisk Extreme which a lot of users said it gave USB 2.0 performance in the mid 20s. I have spend the last little while looking very closely at all of the flash drives, specs, reviews, and prices.

I've had a few external hard drives that are capable of it, but I guess USB 2.0 based flash drives can't handle it.Īnyways I appreciate everyone's effort and suggestions on this.

I might be wrong and no USB flash drive exists that can actually get the full 45MBps out of a USB 2.0 slot. Wow I really appreciate your time and effort on this. I'll be very interested to find out if there is a drive that can hit 40-45 MB/s, but I can't find it.

Anything else that can beat it marginally in read, does significantly worse with write speeds. It's rated at 27MB/s read and 25MB/s write, but has been tested at 30.7/25.13. The fastest consistent performer I could find is the Patriot Xporter XT Rage: The USB 3.0s get closer to it than the 2.0s do, though. I couldn't even find a USB 3.0 drive that could claim those speeds on a USB 2.0 port. My extensive and comprehensive in-depth research (conducted in the last two hours) leads me to believe that there is no such animal.
