Question 1

Speed benchmarks please?

Accepted Answer

I bought this flash drive to make an experiment on my Design for Quality class. I compared this flash drive with another (Silicon Power), both are USB 3.0 and 16 GB. This flash drive had great performance reading in a USB 3.0. However, analyzing other factors it was not as good as the Silicon Power one. After copying 32 files with each of them, these are the results:Reading a 300 MB file using USB 3.0:Transcend: 3.72 sec (average)Silicon Power: 8.34 sec (average)Writing a 300 MB file using USB 3.0:Transcend: 15.45 sec (average)Silicon Power: 9.87 sec (average)Reading a 300 MB file using USB 2.0:Transcend: 14.68 sec (average)Silicon Power: 14.59 sec (average)Writing a 300 MB file using USB 2.0:Transcend: 28.09 sec (average)Silicon Power: 16.21 sec (average)Conclusion: To read files using USB 3.0, it is an excellent flash drive. To write using USB 3.0, it is on average. To read and write using USB 2.0, it does not have a so good performance. Also, these conclusions were made in specific situations, other tests should be done.

Question 2

I've had trouble with flash drives not allowing me to copy large video files. Any advice on this one used in that way to deliver raw video files?

Accepted Answer

Thumb drives almost always come pre-formatted as FAT32.  You cannot copy files larger than 4GB. If your file is larger, I suggest you copy all items on that drive to your hard disk, re-format the thumb drive to NTFS, copy your files back onto it and try the larger file again.  It should work. Microsoft has limits on the filesystem FAT32 but none that I know of on NTFS.

Question 3

Will this fit on a typical A&P wire ring?  I have doubts that the threaded end of the A&P will fit the flash drive keyring slot.

Accepted Answer

No! It will not, I bought this for this exact purpose only to find it will not fit. The threaded end will not fit through the opening. I read the people who said yes and ordered it, but they are wrong.

Question 4

Picture shows a drive labelled "usb 3.1" which i think would use the newer type c connector. is this really standard usb 3.0?

Accepted Answer

The usb 3.1 standard does not require the use of the new type-C connector. Manufacturers may still use type-A connectors for beter backwards compatibility.
