Kingston announces 1 TB USB 3.0 Flash drive
- clicks 14y agoJeff Atwood recently wrote about how fast USB 3 flash discs feel -- http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/11/a-ssd-in-your-pocket.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/11/a-ssd-in-your-pocke... I just want to say, that after trying it out for myself... it really does feel really different. I'm used to backing up 10 gigs of data at times... what I would ordinarily get up and do something for to wait it out now takes literally 10 seconds or so. Everyone I know who deals with big data (well, in orders of gigs -- not going beyond 5 TB or so :)) has similar sentiments about how fast USB 3.0 flash discs feel.
- gcb0 14y agogot a few verbatim usb3 measuring it on a usb3 host, they have a write buffer for the first 100mb or so... i can write to them at 90Mb/s... but after that, i got a stable 7Mb/s. and i bet this is the standard for all brands. reading is fine all the way at ~95Mb/s that said, my HTPC runs off two of those drives in a USB2 port and it's fine. edit: regarding the coding horror link, i would never base my drive speed test on windows 8 copy dialog...
