I have tested on two different PC's to ensure that the results are comparable.
A sobering result:
Read Random: 2.83 MB / s
Read Sequential: 77.09 MB / s
Write Random: 2.65 MB / s
Write Sequential: 28.59 MB / s
I give three stars because I myself am guilty that I did not comply with the minimum product description, which read 80MB / s and indicates 25MB / s write. This satisfies the stick.
In the exaggerated reviews here, I'm assuming that most fake reviews are, because here write rates of nearly 50MB / s can be specified. Because exactly these values I had ordered my stick and was now disappointed.
As a comparison, have here a quasi NoName USB 3.0 Stick:
Its values in comparison:
Read Random: 5.94 MB / s
Read Sequential: 68.34 MB / s
Write Random: 15.61 MB / s
Write Sequential: 39.38 MB / s
To make all the difference when writing clear ... mostly you have random access, 4k-64k threads, BSP. when his collection of copied images. The USB Stick your 5GB images would be copied in about 12 minutes. The Verbatim need for approximately 42 minutes !!! This deficit is therefore by no means negligible and the slightly higher "sequential" reading rate is no consolation, since even the most "read" are not sequential, unless you're only huge files.
