I have mixed feelings about this flash drive. I ran RMPrepUSB which checked the drive to show its true capacity. He reported that the drive was not fake and had a capacity of 256GB. If you want to use the Sandisk software, you need to copy it to a safe place. RMPrepUSB is destructive and you will need to reformat the drive after running it. I then ran 2 speed tests on the drive using DeViewUSB and SpeedOut. Both programs reported that the drive has a write speed of 43.5 Mbps. I really enjoyed that. So it's time to copy the music files to the hard drive. For the transfer I use SuperCopier. It copies everything from source as is. You are not limited by the 260 cartoon name size that Windows imposes. It also copies about 25% faster than Windows. SuperCopier has a chart that shows the writing speed. Write speed was everywhere. It worked at speeds from 200 Kbps to 8.5 Mbps. I think 5.5Mbps was the average write speed. I'm not sure if this is a Windows buffering issue. In any case, this is well below the write speed for a USB 3.0 drive. It took me about 2 hours to copy 120GB of music files to a flash drive. I also use the drive to create TWRP backups on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I didn't notice any drop in speed when using TWRP. I think if you copy and delete a lot of files, it's not the best choice because of the bad writing speed. If you're like me If you're looking for a high-capacity flash drive to store your music collection and can put up with slow write speeds, this drive is for you. I won't delete them, but I add a few new files from time to time. I also have a 256GB Cruzer USB 2.0 flash drive. It's even more of a dog. It took me 12 hours to copy 256GB of music files to it. I think the average write speed was around 3.5Mbps. I paid the same price for both sticks. that the average write speed was about 3.5 Mbps. I paid the same price for both sticks. that the average write speed was about 3.5 Mbps. I paid the same price for both sticks.
