Apacer HandySteno 1.1, 64MB "FatBoy" biggrin.gif

No pic of the actual unit; it's so old I can't even find it on Apacer's site.
Edit: Thanks to Din, here's a pic of the FatBoy!

When running the test did your thumb drive LED flashing? AFAIK the fastest thumb drive nowadays can go 25MB/s. It's impossible that a USB 1.1 can get 31MB/s sweat.gif

OK, this tip is for WinXP. Could also apply to Win2K, but I don't think can for WinME/9x.

Win XP will "normally" NOT enable write caching for flashdrives; if write caching is on, this is why you need to use the Safely Remove H/W icon. The Safely Remove H/W icon tells Windows to flush the cache and commit (i.e. write) everything to the flashdrive so the user can remove it.

You can tell Windows whether or not to use the write cache: Plug in your drive and start Windows Explorer. Go to My Computer, then right-click on the thumbdrive > Properties > Hardware tab > double-click on yr thumbdrive > Policies tab. The options there are slef-explanatory...
