Test five drives Kingston USB 3.0 interface
Hello, Giktayms! In a комментариев to interview the head of the Russian office of Kingston Alexei Knyazev it was rightly observed that many usb flash - is "well, this silver" or - "8 gigabytes."
Today's post will focus on testing five different drives: Chernen'kii , серебристого , very small , and white Large sliding . By comparing the cut fresh models Kingston flash drives with USB 3.0 interface capacity of 64 gigabytes.
Participants test
HyperX Fury 64 Gb - the average price of Ya.Markete - 2325 rubles.
So what can we learn to start testing? To the manufacturer read / write speed for HyperX Fury 64 Gb up 90/30 MB / s. The drive controller is used Phison 2303 Memory type MLC manufactured by Toshiba. The actual size of the disk is 62,948,114,432 bytes. Translated into familiar units after formatting turns 58, 6 GB.
For each device are not only technical characteristics, but also highlights on convenience or inconvenience of use. In particular, HyperX Fury can very easily lose the protective cap, it is removable and fixed rather weak. The design of this drive is quite original, and gamers will enjoy. HyperX Fury can be used as memory expansion and PlayStation game consoles Xbox.
DataTraveler G4 64 Gb - the average price of Ya.Markete - 1467 rubles.
The speed of the DatTraveler G4 is not explicitly stated either on the website or in datasheet . The drive controller is used Phison 2307, the memory type TLC manufactured by Toshiba. The actual size of the disk is 62,932,647,936 bytes. Translated into familiar units after formatting turns 58, 6 GB.
USB flash drive is large enough, locking cap is not the most reliable, there is a convenient plastic ring, for which you can hang on the drive keys. Inexpensive and convenient option for users who important volume of storage.
DataTraveler MicroDuo 3.0 64 Gb - the average price of Ya.Markete - 1549 rubles.
To the manufacturer read / write speed up 70/15 MB / s. The drive controller is used Phison 2307, the memory type TLC manufactured by Toshiba. The actual size of the disk is 62,932,647,936 bytes. Translated into familiar units after formatting turns 58, 6 GB.
USB flash drive is very small and has a unique feature among the participants of the test, it is designed to work with OTG technology and can connect to smartphones and tablets. A small metal tab will attach a USB flash drive on a short leash and be sure that it will not be lost.
DataTraveler SE9 G2 64 Gb - the average price of Ya.Markete - 1658 rubles.
To the manufacturer read / write speed up 100/15 MB / s. The drive controller is used Phison 2307, the memory type TLC manufactured by Toshiba. The actual size of the disk is 62,932,647,936 bytes. Translated into familiar units after formatting turns 58, 6 GB.
The smallest of the five drive, no caps. The metal case is the perfect option for the exterior to be worn on a key or a chain.
DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3 64 Gb - the average price of Ya.Markete - 2795 rubles.
To the manufacturer read / write speed of 150 / 70MB / s. The drive controller is used Phison 2303 Memory type MLC manufactured by Toshiba. The actual size of the disk is 62,948,114,432 bytes. Translated into familiar units after formatting turns 58, 6 GB.
Flash card in the expandable metal casing and break it or scratch is very difficult. On the back side of the ring for easy fixation on the carbine. This option is ideal for active use in the admin's activities or as storage for car
How to test?
Testbed
- Processor: Motherboard: RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4-2133 32 Gb (4 * 8 Gb) System SSD-drive: HyperX Predator PCI-E SSD 480 Gb Video Card: Power supply: Operating System:
Crystal Disk Mark
The usual test for measuring the speed of drives, I will use the results of sequential read and write.
AS SSD Benchmark Another fairly well-known test for flash drives, it has a subtest Copy Benchmark and as the stick is mainly used for copying and transferring various information, it is most informative. It has three scenarios: ISO (two large file) Program (folder with lots of small files) and Games (folder with assorted large and small files).
TeraCopy In order to assess the most that neither is a real performance I recorded on a huge stick BDRemux film Interstellar (file size 35,888,253,409 bytes) and a fixed time for which the film is copied to the drive.
Test results
Crystal Disk Mark
Tight enough to record the results (average of the five-volume copying files 1 GB), and a clear leadership in the reading of the more expensive drives HyperX Fury and DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0.
AS SSD Benchmark
Fast drives significantly outperform "kids» DataTraveler SE9 G2, DataTraveler microDuo 3.0 and DataTraveler G4 at copying large files and a mixture of large and small files. For a scenario with many small files the gap is not so noticeable, but still noticeable.
TeraCopy
An unexpected result, a tenfold advantage in favor HyperX Fury and DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0. Copying a huge file baffled small drives and budget DataTraveler G4. Perhaps, this picture shows why the user should pay for the expensive flash drive larger than the first available.
Organizational conclusions
As expected, "not all yogurts are created equal." HyperX Fury and DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 broke away from the group of pursuers. Compact drives looks good, but more suitable for carrying small files, such as documents and music - we can say that the DataTraveler SE9 G2 handle it well - and the metal casing, and you can hang keys. If before the user the task of transferring large files - movies, or ISO - the best choice - it's DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0. Well, if actively to shift data between the mobile device and your computer - then DataTraveler microDuo 3.0 to help.
