Review on πŸ“Έ MMoment MU50 64GB Single Pack USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Data Storage Thumb Drive with Read Speed up to 90MB/s, Compact Size Memory Stick, Modern Matte White (64GB-Single Pack) by Trina Taylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The specified maximum writing speed is deceptive, but the device is quite competitive in this price range.

The device passes the h2testw test for a capacity of 117 GB, writes and reads without errors. It comes in FAT32 format. The sustained read speed in h2estw is actually the claimed 100+ MB/s, which is pretty fast. However, the claimed maximum writing speed is only achieved during early recording. Sustained writing is only about 12MB/s. This discrepancy is not unique to this element. To get sustained high write speeds, you may need to purchase a SATA SSD and a SATA to USB3 adapter. Note that the PNY 480GB "SSD" flash drive also has write speed issues, so buying a fast SSD like those used to replace hard drives is a must. In this price range, the drive is competitive with other similar devices. The keychain hole is a good size, but I'm not a fan of removable covers that can come loose or get lost. I usually use these drives as permanent backup storage, so I can't rate their reliability under repeated writing conditions. I reformatted it to NTFS, which slowed down the read/write speeds a little, probably due to the different cluster sizes (any reformatting or other changes to the device are at your own risk).
