Value for Money

I bought this Pen Drive thinking its a class 4 product(4 MBPS write speed) But I was amazed to see that its not!


I got a speed of 7.5 MBps while writing the data from my laptop(Asus, i5, 500GB, 1GB, USB 2.0, Windows 7 HP) to cruzer blade.


So I decided to perform the tests. Here are the results:(Format - FAT32)




  1. ISO file(Linux Mint 16 - 1.13 GB) - Started with 4.5 MBps but in 10 seconds caught a steady speed of 7.5 MBps.




  2. MP3 files(69 files - Total 1.1 GB) - Started with 6 MBps and after 2 seconds, fluctuated between 6.8 - 7.4 MBps.




  3. MP4 video(1 file - 400 MB) - Started at 6.8 MBps and after 3 seconds, speed was always above 7.2 MBps.




  4. Zip Files(21 files - 281 MB) - Started at 6 MBps and then fluctuated between 6-6.5 MBps.




  5. PPT Files(92 files - 141 MB) - Started at 4.8 MBps and then remained in between 5 - 5.5 MBps.




  6. PDF Files(15 files - 52 MB) - Started at 7.5 MBps and remained constant.






> Read Speed of this Pendrive is almost constant for above 6 files i.e 18 MBps - 20 MBps.


Final Words: There are two possibilities




  1. Either only my Pen drive is such a faster hunk, or




  2. Sandisk has improved the write speed in this Pen Drive.
