Review on Flash drive Silicon Power Firma F80 32 GB, silver gray by Mateusz Swierczynski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

The Horse Edition is the 16GB version. Constructed in the conventional manner, with a body made of a single piece of cast metal, no moving parts, and no backlash. When writing the first 100 MB to the flash controller, the speed is approximately 10 MB/s, but after that, it gradually but steadily reduces to 3 MB/s, independent of the file system and cluster size (the variation in speed is within the error margin). The flash controller is fascinating because of this. Reading at a rate of 10-15 Mb/s. The fact that it is so compact is also one of its flaws; the flash's hole is too small for my finger, yet I have a build that is considered to be average. The entire flash, including the tip, has a rough texture, making it difficult to insert and remove it from the camera because there is a lot of friction involved, in contrast to regular flashes that are smooth. On the surface, it seems like sacrificing convenience for the sake of appearance is a bad idea.

Pros
  • small, basic but interesting appearance
Cons
  • speed, inconvenient to insert / obtain
