Review on πŸ’» SSK 64GB USB C Flash Drive 150MB/s Dual Drive 2 in 1 OTG Type-C + USB 3.1 Thumb Drive Memory Stick Jump Drive with Thunderbolt 3 Support – Compatible with Android Phone, MacBook/Pro, and More by David Butterfield

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not 150MB/s in data storage

This 64GB FAT32 Flash Drive (aka Flash Drive, aka Adapter, aka Memory Card) performed well in my testing cut off satisfactorily. The only reason I'm taking a star from 5 to 4 stars is because Revain's product detail page specifically states in the title that "read speed is 150 megabytes per second". I didn't get anything close to that in my testing. In the details (fine print) it says more precisely that "Read/Write speed up to 150 MB/s"; In other words, your observed speeds may be lower. My read and write tests were performed on a USB 3 port. In my write test, I copied a file system containing 2284 folders containing 18,429 files of 15,983,743,128 bytes to a flash drive. The average speed was 12.3 MB/s (1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes). In other words, the write speed was 12 times lower than the 150 MB/s stated in the title. In the read test, I copied a file system with 339 folders from a flash drive, containing 1729 files with a size of 907,379,094 bytes. The average speed was 41.2 MB/s, which is less than 1/3 of the 150 MB/s advertised in the title. Those are acceptable speeds. They're just way smaller than the rosy numbers the seller claims.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Good, but not great
