💻 Silicon Power 64GB Blaze B30 USB 3.0 Swivel Flash Drive: High-Speed Black Storage Solution Review

Exactly as shown. Very pleasant appearance. It's easy to open the packaging. Formatted in FAT32 (I think for better compatibility between devices) FAT32 CrystalDiskMark benchmarks. (see photo) exFAT CrystalDiskMark benchmarks. (see image) **Obviously better write speed** NTFS CrystalDiskMark benchmarks. (see image) Tested with USB 3.1 port on ASUS ROG HERO II laptop. The total usable capacity is 57.6 GB, which is equivalent to most solid state memory modules (10% reserved to prevent damage)…

I bought it 4 years ago. I finally got around to checking it out as I just bought the 256GB version. This has worked well over the years, it still works well, but I wanted a bigger USB drive. Speed is decent, sequential reads are slower than the newer 256GB USB 3.1, and random reads were slightly slower. Sequential recording is slightly better and random recording is surprisingly much better. It was a great ride, but now you can get a lot more capacity for little money. I really like the design

I have to agree with some others who have commented that newer flash drives are slower than older ones. I bought one of the 32GB B30s in April 2014. This drive still performs well with benchmarks of 210.0 MB/s (read) and 35.76 MB/s (write). Because of this performance, I recently bought a 64GB version of the same drive. However, the benchmarks for this new drive are: 116.5 MB/s (read); 33.6MB/s (write). Thus, the reading speed of the new disk is almost half the reading speed of the old disk. As

For those who want the short version, this USB stick is very fast and meets advertised read/write speeds. The hinged lid is very good and the drive is aesthetically pleasing. The only downside I've found so far is that the drive can get very hot when copying many files at once. Worth the price? Yes. highlighted? Definitive. For those wanting more detail, WRITE SPEEDI copied 18GB of music (2346 files total) to a flash drive in about 13 minutes, which is about half the advertised write speed of…

This 64GB drive works great, unlike another brand that crashed when I tried to use it as a Windows 10 rescue disk. Many people have written about not being able to create a rescue disk on a USB drive and so far none of my suggestions have worked. The reason I mention it here is because I bought this disk to use to create a rescue disk. Before installing Win 10 on it, I had no problem using Paragon (Partition) Manager 15 to write my own recovery files and boot setup to that drive. I overwrote…

Good price/gigabyte of memory back then. They looked good too. I bought two... A few years later none of them are recognized by the devices they are connected to. The drive won't mount at all (computer wise) - not sure what's causing this error. Can't even erase the drive and start over. A total waste of money at the moment, which is disappointing as they definitely weren't free to begin with.

Flash drive is fast but picky about the files copied to it. So if you are copying a lot of small files, the speed will drop to a very SLOW speed and even stop. Copying large files like 1.5GB mp4 is very fast, around 60Mbps (this is on a slow computer with 3.0 USB). I'm happy with that. This is the fastest cheap drive I've ever had and I have a lot of flash drives. hope it lasts

This is my first USB 3.0 stick and I have to say the speed difference over USB 2.0 when transferring files is impressive and a huge improvement. , a unique design that makes it easy to tell apart from others on your desk or office and I really like the rotating lid. I've never liked retractable ones and always lose caps from two-piece ones, so I thought this feature was a great idea. I've carried mine around quite a bit and they seem to be quite durable. It gets a little warm when the computer…
