BEST performance EVER,

This review is from: Verbatim Store 'n' Go 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 96317 (Red) (Personal Computers)
The Verbatim Store 'n' Go PRO USB Flash Drive - 16GB performance is advertised as below
Transfers even large files/folders fast!...Up to 80X Write (12MB/s) and 200X Read (30MB/s) speed
GUESS WHAT, I tested the NON PRO "Verbatim Store 'n' Go USB Flash Drive 16GB" and the performance came out to be the same. I have performed a benchmark test using SisSoftware Sandra Lite. the results are as follows
When transferring a 2MB file
Reads: 27955kB/s
Writes: 7168kB/s
When transferring a 64MB file
Reads: 27307kB/s
Writes: 12015kB/s
CONCLUSION: Don't waste your money buying the so called pro drive, becoz I think this one is just as fast as the pro drive, in fact I suspect they even use the same chip, just that the pro drive is advertise to be super fast to get more $$ out of ur pocket. Benchmark testing is one thing, in real life scenario, I find the drive to be extremely fast and reliable.
By the way, I didn't...Read more

I am replacing my 1GB Sandisk Cruzer with the Verbatim 2GB. The first thing I found out is that it does not fully go in in the front USB ports of my Dell 4500 desktop. I have to use a USB extension. It doesn't come with one either.
The rubberish skin is a nice feel compare to the cheap plastic of the Sandisk Cruzer. Also, it feels sturdy that I'd have no problem chaining it with my keys. Performance wise, it pretty fast. Noticeable better read/write than the Sandisk.

This review is from: Verbatim Store 'n' Go 32 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 96806 (Red) (Personal Computers)
This unit does exactly what it's supposed to do. One hint, however, and this applies to many flash drives.
A lot of flash drives come with pre-installed utilities. Some of these utilities can create havoc with systems (and the drives themselves). Been there, done that - trust me. So, whenever I get a flash drive, the first thing I do IMMEDIATELY is format it to NTFS. All I want in a flash drive is a storage device - without all the dubious bells and whistles that, sometimes, can cause problems. Formatting deletes those problems before they become problems.
