Customer Review
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2015
System:
Intel Core i7 5930K @ 3.50GHz
16.0GB Dual Channel memory @ 1087MHz
ASUS X99-A motherboard
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Results:
CrystalDiskMark 4.0.3: Best result (sequential) 226.4 MB/s read, 201.9 MB/s write.
Roadkil's Disk Speed 2.0: 254.91 MB/s
AS SSD Benchmark 1.8.5611: Best result (sequential) 254 MB/s read, 190 MB/s write
As you can see, in my experience the performance of this flash drive is excellent.
My only complaint is that there is a slight design issue. When I usually insert flash drives into my machine, I tend to grip the drive firmly. When I do this, the "slider" gets depressed slightly and this causes the connector to retract slightly when being pushed in, so it doesn't make good contact. It's just a matter of learning to push the drive in from the back rather than from the middle of the drive.
Be aware that benchmarks can be heavily influenced by many outside factors - USB chipset, bus speed, general system resources. I re-ran the benchmarks mentioned in another review, and received much more favourable results on my system.
