Review on πŸ’Ώ Verbatim 16GB Metal Executive USB Flash Drive - Silver: The Ultimate Combination of Style and Storage (98748) by Chase Arellano

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Extremely slow for USB 2.0

Excellent durable metal case with simple and concise design. It comes with a key ring so you can add it to your keychain or attach it to your lanyard. It's Verbatim so I hope it lasts a long time. However, this is the slowest flash drive I've seen. This is USB 2.0 with a maximum transfer rate of up to 480Mbps (60MB/s) according to the standard. I can write to it at 3.584 Mbps (0.44 MB/s). It's excruciatingly slow! For 1GB documents you will have to wait about 40 minutes. I can signal my data faster than I can write to this flash drive. I'm blown away by how other reviewers found this useful for data transfer. If you're looking to add a beautifully designed USB drive to your shelf collection, buy this one. If you want to use it for data transfer, you'd better not use it.

Pros
  • Good stuff
