4GB USB Flash Drives Roundup

Zitat

From a performance point of view, this test session produced the following leaders: Super Talent 200x, Buffalo RUF2-S, Patriot Xporter, OCZ ATV Turbo and OCZ Rally 2 Turbo. All of them had superb results at both reading and writing files and easily passed the Vista ReadyBoost compliancy check.

[...]The Transcend JetFlash 185 needs a special mention. The 2GB version of this drive showed a very good read speed and a record-breaking write speed in our previous test session but the 4GB model is not that good. Moreover, it is among the slowest three drives in terms of read speed. So, be careful when reading through test results: the numbers only apply to the particular model rather than to the entire series.

As for the losers, the RiData Yego EZdrive, A-Data C701 and LG Mini Retractable are the slowest drives in this test session, they performed poorly in every test. Their exterior design isn’t that impressive, either. In our opinion, the C701 is simple and inexpensive-looking, the Mini Retractable is not convenient to use, and the EZdrive is too large. They can hardly appeal much to the potential customer.
