🔥 ARCANITE 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive - High-Speed Read/Write up to 400/100 MB/s (AK58128G)" Review

I bought three different flash drives and can compare them. The Arcanite drive is the best in terms of capacity and form factor, but it lacks speed. Advantages: speed. Yes, it's a fast read drive. I was able to easily reach 250Mbps and sometimes up to 300Mbps. More on writing speed later. Form Factor I like the rugged case and design of this drive. It's nice that the cap snaps back onto the body during use. Storage. Great value for the amount of storage you get. After that, the HDD quickly…

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…

Update: I ordered 3. I used one for mission assurance. On the second day it failed; to take an important backup on it. Windows unexpectedly reported that the flash drive needs to be formatted before use! (read: fried). When I start formatting (do I have a chance?); then he said "read only"! (it has no write protect switch)! So 1 out of 3 ends up in the garbage. I will test the remaining 2 before using them again for an important task. Impressive speed, but not yet so impressive reliability.…

PS5 REVIEW! We ordered it as extended storage for PS5 as the m.2 port on PS5 is not in the firmware yet. We've failed with a few other drives because the PS5 requires the drive used for the external drive to have a minimum speed, and many drives just don't make it. This drive was easy to set up for this purpose and has worked great so far, successfully copying many of my big games onto the drive. For now all I can say is that it works and the PS5 seems to be accepting it. The next test in the…

High performance - well, that only applies to read access, not recording . While the performance of large sequential blocks is maximum for reads and average for writes, writes with 4K block size are too slow. See attached test images. For higher 4K recording performance, you have better options. A well-known competitor (Extreme Pro USB 3.1) is simply better in every respect (through better write performance). If the physically smaller size isn't attractive here, the competitor's physically…

This is my review: ARCANITE 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive - AK58128G Every time I get a new drive I check a few things. The first and most important thing is that the capacity of the drive is accurate. Memory can be manipulated to show more capacity than it actually has. There are several programs that write data to disk and read what they have written to check the actual space available. Using "Quick Disk Test v1.2" I have come to the conclusion that the displayed capacity of my hard disk is…
