better take some extra precautions to backup ur pendrive.

u'll nvr know when it's gonna die.

but, i'm curious that it's still working.

yeah, the reason is tha diffrent Flash manufacturers have different specs/settings.

the oem tool is used to determine the optimum & safe settings to tap the performance of the chip.

@biatche, it's great that u're doing something for the *sophisticated* malaysians that need fast read+write drvies (within a reasonable price).

ur bulk sale is quite interesting though. lemme go through some research ya!

btw, have u tried to get from Apacer (Taiwan)? APacer has a 200X drive called Handy Steno AH522 (http://ap.apacer.com/ap/products/Handy_Steno_AH522_200X.htm). Performance: Read: 30MB/sec; Write: 12MB/sec.

or OCZ Rally2 Turbo (Up to 35MB/s (read), 30MB/s (write)) @ http://www.pendrivereviews.com/ocz-rally-2-turbo/ <--am very interested how much is this

very good!

what's the price?
where to buy?
can post the image?

thx for the test!

the Extreme Contour is a refreshed series.

possibly they're using the new NAND chips that allows them to scale higher capacity (64GB per unit) http://www.sandisk.com/products/usb-flash-...usb-flash-drive

i thought the body is Red

is it availabe in Malaysia?

can it be purchased in Malaysia?

who's selling in Malaysia?

anyway, performance is so-so:


http://www.sandisk.com/products/usb-flash-...ve?tab=features

what are these "40GD sd cards" ??

impossible for <RM100.

even with the fastest from Sandisk, (theoretical) max is 18MB/s.

alternate is Transcend 600/620: max write is 18MB/s. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1115920 . Price= RM155 for 16GB

harlo, Kingston Value series are the worst kind. using cheapo NAND flash, it will die faster.

Cruzer = cheap n slow, will nvr reach 20MB/s

repeat: Kingston Value series are the worst kind.

the fake drives are done with the "production" software to trick the firmware to "show" specific amount of capacity.

e.g. actual 4GB unit, u can use the production software to force the firmware to show 8GB/16GB listed capacity.

Upon plugging to systems, it will show what it was "told" to show.


the only way to KNOW if the pendrive has true USABLE capacity is to do a FULL REFORMAT and REFILL the whole drive with data.


another easier way: use this software called H2testw ( http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1145346 )

find them here: http://forum.lowyat.net/Memory&Drives

the atto numbers looks very good la bro.

I dont rely sisoft's number cuz it's a weighted number.



to be sure, do a manual filecopy operation (move 8-16GB file) and do the timing.

transcend 600/620 is quite affordable too.

post #1925, found it in 1 minute.

Lacus, available in Malaysia?

location? price?

actually i dont mind the little difference for the performance and quality..

earlier, did a small comparison > http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=32178144


Transcend 620 32GB (RM290) vs Corsair Voyager GTR 32GB (RM350+) = RM60+ difference? ok wat

the previous patriot xporter just widely available in LYP.

this Rage was just announced few days ago, my bet is *forever* to reach our mass market

doesnt really matter cuz if plug on usb2.0, it has max speed of 30MB/s read & write <-- still better than most capalang drives out there.
