Review on πŸ”₯ ARCANITE 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive - High-Speed Read/Write up to 400/100 MB/s (AK58128G)" by Wayne Martin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Yes. not so fast - CRASHED!

Update 12/06/20: It crashed in less than 4 weeks and took all my files with it. I've used it 6 times and written less than 10GB of data. Several recovery programs have been tried without success, the hard disk is completely empty, the partition table has been destroyed and there is no recovery information. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Ps: It not only crashed but also read-only. ----------- I needed a flash drive with high writing speed, so after reading many reviews I took a chance and bought the 128GB version. I tend to overlook these flashy CrystalDiskMark tests as they only use a small portion of the disk (and tend to end up in cached writes), and here's the result. The drive is fast, but not that fast. I would say it's mediocre, after filling the cache the write speed drops from 120mb/s to around 50-55, about the same speed as the Samsung bar but at a higher price. I won't say that the drive is bad (endurance was not tested), but reviews (particularly ATTO or Crystaldiskmark) should be treated with caution.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Zero
