Performance

We used the following devices for our comparison:

• OCZ Rally 1GB
  
• OCZ Mini Kart 1GB
  
• Super Talent RBST 1GB
  
• Corsair Flash Voyager 1GB
  
• Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 512MB
  
• Sandisk Cruzer Micro 2GB
  
• A-Data Football Disk 512 MB
  
• A-Data My Flash PD7 1GB
  
• Generic Stick USB 1.1 256MB
  

We used HDTach in the following two benchmarks.

HDTach results are quite slow, but this is most likely due to some problem in the benchmark software, as we will see later on.


Many high-speed USB drives offer nice transfer rates, yet have slow access times. Access time is quite the important feature. The Verbatim Store 'n' Go PRO scores a great 0.6ms, sharing the best access time with the A-DATA's PD7.

To get a feeling how the speed with different sized files is, we used the ATTO disk benchmark.

The benchmark actually shows the true potential of the Store 'n' Go PRO. It comes closer to the advertised read speed of ~25MB/s and write speed of ~14MB/s. It is safe to say that this USB memory stick is quite fast, even though it scores somewhat low in HDTach, which is probably a bug in HDTach.
