Pen drives - reviews / benchmarks?
I'm after a large pen drive, either 4GB or 8GB and was looking at scan as my usual supplier. I saw the great price on the 8GB own branded stick and was about to buy when I thought I would check speeds first.
I have a 2GB scan pen drive and a 1GB Transcend.
I did a quick test of 1 x 700MB file.
The scan pen drive took 343 secs, 2.04 MB/sec
The Transcend took 74 seconds, 9.46 MB/sec
I wondered why the scan one was so cheap, it all seems clear now.
After that I decided against the 8GB scan one, I don't fancy waiting 1h 5 mins to fill it up!
Any suggestions on reasonably priced higher capacity pen drives?
I googled for reviews but found very few that gave tested (rather than quoted) transfer rate.
