ozak,

The read performance is good but the write speed is so-so only. I do know the Flash Voyager 16GB is using MLC chips.

Is that mean this kind of chip is fast or slow? I guess it is speed vs capacity. You want high capacity, you got to be slow down. cry.gif
MLC chips will be slower than SLC chips. Of course even within the MLC category there are different grades, resulting in different speeds.

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

Make sure that it is running in super speed (USB3.0 speed) if you are using Windows. Yes, this happen to my USB3.0 external hard drive that not running in super speed mode due to driver problem...

Hi, how to ensure it is using super speed USB3.0?

I'm running Win XP with an older PC which is natively USB2.0. I have a MSI USB3.0 card, which is working fine for my USB3.0 HDD dock.

However, when I plug in a USB3.0 Sandisk pendrive into the MSI, I'm not getting full USB3.0 speed. And I get a pop up message saying the pendrive can perform faster if I use USB3.0.

Thanks for the benchmark numbers.

Read speed is fair, but the write speed is slow. I find that most pendrive like to quote read speed, but write speed is just as important since we often copy files to the pendrive.
