maybe it is really too slow i guess.

for speed and performance nothing beats the corsair flash voyager gt currently ... so if u want speed ... go for it ...

Guys, I have this free Pendrive Mini 1GB stick. It's partitioned to 2 drives. Drive A is 2MB in size and has some Flash presentation inside that launches itself automatically (got autorun.inf). The drive is read-only and shows as a CD-ROM drive. Drive B is the remaining of the drive capacity. Any way I can merge these partitions or delete the Flash thing? Whenever I plug in the thumbdrive, the Flash thing just launches itself.

Yes you can delete the 2 partitions and then create a single one. See here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...n.mspx?mfr=true

but it dun have u3 feature & nice looking.

I kinda like my Voyager 4 GB. It's built tough. Maybe
the thick rubber insulates it but it doesn't heat up like
my Kingston 512 MB.

Looks like it could survive the washing machine too!

- yap

Not really that tough. The rubber casing is just wrap around the component. If you pull out abit the rubber casing, you can see the inside component. I got one time accidently bend the usb head between casing. Lucky it didn't break into two part. The rubber casing are easly stick with the dust when put inside pocket. I m using flash voyager 16GB.

Will the Voyager GT be sold at this coming PcFair?
I would want to get my hands on one of those.

try going to pendrive's website and look under FAQ or downloads. I have a PQI thumbdrive and it has the same thing. I've tried so many things to remove the write protected partition but unsuccessful. Turns out there's a software to be downloaded at PQI's site and it took me less than a minute to delete the partition. All the best

ok... i've installed the sandra software and tested my PQI U350 thumbdrive as i posted earlier... and here is the sad and slightly wierd result....





as u guys can see the performance is not so good at lower file size but increases until 256 kb.... then it goes down...

all and all... i think it's slow..... what do u guys think?

just to make things more interesting... i reformated the drive from FAT to FAT32.... AND THE PERFORMANCE DROPPED!!!! as you can see on reference drive #4... why i dunno and so my thumbdrive is actually faster when formatted to FAT rather than FAT32...

even my friend's old 1GB Pendrive is faster....

and i just bought this drive last month... what a piece of cr@p!!!

thx to have u to test for us as i thought tis 1 is also fast, now hope sum1 can test kingston model 100.

end up buying cruzer micro 2gb instead of 4gb ... i feel like the price is not worth it at pc fair (e.g : scared if later after 2-3 mths ppl buy 4gb for RM60, then i become jealous haha)..
hmm can't even find data traveller II also ..
i saw there's data traveller100 ..is it a new one? any speed increase ah? scared to buy that ...wonder if it is slow or faster than DT1

anyway, i got this cruzer micro 2g for RM78 .. ok ah? about the cheapest i can find at pc fair penang ...
haven't got time to benchmark it yet ..

next time pls survey first loh.

so, can anyone tell me whats the hottest selling pendrive in the market and most reliable? might wanna get a few from pc fair tomorrow

u can try find sandisk at pcfair then.

Hmm looks like Pendrive is not as nice as PQI... there's no such utility at Pendrive's website. Anyway thanks for the heads-up

Just wondeirng guys, is it possible to delete the U3 software from the Sandisk thumb drive?

Well, you're not the only one. I bought one also, and I can say its the slowest usb drive I've every bought. Its slower than Kingston mini drive and my friend's pendrive.
I use diskbench software to test, my friend's pendrive can copy up to 5.2 mbps, while this PQI only can reach 2.1 mbps !!! No wonder everytime I copy a big sized file, I feel its very damn slow.

I will blacklist PQI like... forever ! Unless by some miracle, this damn usb can suddenly perform fast.
