By Sunny Singhon
A well performing pendrive. Robust use. I got it on BBD at Rs 510.
2.0 - write - 18MB/s, Read - 33MB/s
3.0 - write - 32MB/s, Read - 60MB/s
These results were done on win7. with 1gb of single data.
Perfect product!

Good quality pendrive
By Pratik Kumar Sinhaon
Pros:
1. Speeds as promised
2. Works with OTG (format as FAT32)
Cons:
1. Slide design is a little cumbersome, esp if you are in a hurry
2. Slide keeps getting stuck if the usb connector gets bent even slightly.
Amazing read speeds. Average write speeds. Total value.
By Gaurav Dason
Should you buy this? Well, considering how closely its priced to other 32 GB pen drives, the decision is a no-brainer.
While it isnt a scorcher like the SanDisk Extreme pen drive (you can find my review on Flipkart), it definitely has enough grunt to actually make it worth the very small premium.
Don't have a USB 3.0 port? Well it's still worth it. You are still guaranteed a certain level of performance.
Build quality is good. The pen drive is fairly small and light. The housing is plastic with a sliding USB connector at one end and a gap at the other to attach a lanyard.
The sliding mechanism feels good and has a locking mechanism. The USB connector is coloured blue to indicate USB 3.0 compatibility.
The plastic housing has a matte finish on the sides and bottom and feels quite durable. The feel however does not come close to the awesome soft-touch feel of the SanDisk extreme.
The top of the housing is glossy plastic to accentuate the SanDisk logo and add a bit of shine to the overall look.
Performance summary:
- Amazing read speeds for few large files. You want a USB 3.0 port to take advantage of the read speeds.
- Pretty good performance for many smaller files. Better than most in this price range.
- Write speeds for few large files is pretty average. Was expecting more here. You won't lose much with a USB 2.0 port here.
Benchmarks:
CrystalDiskMark 3.0.2 x64
- Test - Read Speed - Write Speed
- Seq. - 142.9 MB/s - 28.32 MB/s
- 512K - 114.3 MB/s - 0.454 MB/s
- 4K - 5.074 MB/s - 2.005 MB/s
- 4K QD32 - 4.126 MB/s - 1.717 MB/s
Disappointing sequential write speeds. The 4K transfer speeds are pretty good though.
Note sure what is up with the 512K random write speeds. Some controller inefficiency maybe?
Single file copy; 3758 MB file on a RAM disk.
- Read - 29.4 seconds - 127.82 MB/s
- Write - 112.5 seconds - 33.40 MB/s
Read speed were very consistent peaking to about 130 MB/s.
Write speed started very slowly before settling in. The speeds fluctuated between 27 MB/s and 40 MB/s in a very regular pattern (graph looked like a sine wave :D). Peak speeds of 47 MB/s were observed.
Multiple file copy; 1196 files over 8 folders totalling to 3825 MB on a RAM disk. The files consist of some ~5 MB photos taken on DSLR and some 1~2 MB photos taken on a phone.
- Read - 44.75 seconds - 85.47 MB/s
- Write - 139.56 seconds - 27.40 MB/s
Read speeds were again very good, with very little fluctuation.
Write speeds were strictly average. Nothing worth mentioning here.
Configuration:
ASRock Z87M Extreme4
Core i5 4670K
2 x 4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM
Windows 8 64-bit
Dataram RAMDisk
The motherboard software comes with a tool called XFastUSB which can increase the transfer speed for smaller file sizes. All tests were run with XFastUSB disabled.
Worst Product
By KAUSTAV SINHAon
I got this pen drive as write protective....
I could not do anything with that... simply waste of money...
Flipkart, you should take care of everything before delivering it to the buyers....
Always a problem occurs in pen drive specially in Sandisk...
Simply awesome
