- ssavoy, on 03/08/2009, -7/+32Nerd
- leonwho, on 03/08/2009, -4/+28No, you're a nerd.
- ileftfark, on 03/08/2009, -0/+17Oh syntaxgs, how I missed your delightful brand of subtle(?) trollin'. Glad to see you back.
- DRT23, on 03/08/2009, -4/+16Nerd
- ThatGeek, on 03/08/2009, -0/+12hes not even a good troll, isnt that cute
- roxgod666, on 03/08/2009, -1/+8It's a software bundle. You must install all 5 or else none of them will work.
- midbc, on 03/08/2009, -0/+6spoken like a preacher
now everyone turn to page 1337 of your AppleMacDud bible and repeat after me
in the beginning Steve Jobs said let us all be douches...and then there were douches - Loudpipe, on 03/07/2009, -26/+32If you spend time checking the speed of your USB drive, you obviously have time to waste, so what are you worried about how fast it writes in the first place for? Nerd.
- inactive, on 03/08/2009, -0/+6I got a Mac and now my dog isn't dead anymore!
- DRT23, on 03/08/2009, -0/+6Mhmm....cereal
- e2superman, on 03/08/2009, -0/+5... just copying a file to and from the drive in Vista gives you the MB/s. Good enough for me.
- cowsgonemadd3, on 03/08/2009, -0/+5Link to these drives please.
- CalcProgrammer1, on 03/08/2009, -0/+5Universal Cereal Bus...is that some sort of delivery vehicle for breakfast food?
- syntaxgs, on 03/07/2009, -10/+14This article is completely point less now that they have electronic Cereal ATA drives
- screensnot, on 03/08/2009, -0/+4He's super-cereal, guys.
Excelsior! - xCIone, on 04/15/2009, -5/+9This is very useful.thanks!
- mstrebe, on 03/08/2009, -0/+4On Mac/Linux/Unix:
Write speed:
cd /<mountpoint>
time cat /dev/zero >zerofile
Divide the file size by the real time passed.
Read speed:
time cat zerofile >/dev/null
Divide the file size by the real time passed.
Easy peasy. - ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+4Am I missing something? It just looks like all his comments are a bunch of broken English.
- XxbladesfirexX, on 03/08/2009, -1/+4Dugg for a good list, however why do we need five different tools that all do the same thing? Just a thought...
- Coinspinner, on 03/08/2009, -0/+3The only thing I know is that every time for 5 years when I plug in my thumb drives Windows tells me "it can perform faster", and asks if I need to see the slots so I can go try to find a USB 2.0 port.
Which it doesn't have, you stupid ***** thing. Just load what's there and most importantly, *stop* asking me. - maddonkey, on 03/08/2009, -0/+3Yea for the whole galaxy...
CalcProgrammer1 where have you been at I had my cereal delivered to Uranus last week. - compulsive1, on 03/08/2009, -1/+4The article is incomplete without running a test of the same USB Flash drive on all of the programs and reporting the results. Do they all show the same results or are some of them less accurate than others?
- inactive, on 03/08/2009, -0/+2Use TeraCopy - best free copy utility around and has a speed indicater. Complete replacement for Windows copy function and has queueing.
- Frozenpees, on 03/08/2009, -0/+2Thanks so much! I've been looking for this for a while!
- JesseJ, on 03/08/2009, -0/+2I could use a test program like this on mac. I am loading 14.000 samples onto my Roland Fantom G synthesizer every morning an it takes 8 minutes to load them from an no-name USB thumb drive and for my friend it takes 3 minutes to load the exact same ones from an fasted Kingston one. I have 12 more USB drives that I would like to benchmark. Finding a fast one can save me LOTS of time annually.
365x5minutes = over 30hours of wasted load time every year. Studio charges min 45€/h = 1350€ down the toilet with a cheap USB thumbdrive.
Nerd. - AravindJose, on 03/08/2009, -0/+2No. It's not. It's 5 different tools.
- shadowmoose, on 03/08/2009, -0/+1Yep.... I died a little inside.
- JesseJ, on 03/08/2009, -0/+1How about 14.000 files daily?
- findhostcoupons, on 03/14/2009, -0/+1Wow, thanks TalSiach for your good suggestions!
- nytel, on 03/09/2009, -0/+1Those speed stats are mad tech yo.
- JesseJ, on 03/08/2009, -0/+1I could use a benchmark test program like this on mac OSX.

- hollywoodphony, on 03/08/2009, -1/+2I just got a computer and I don't know what a flash drive is. Is that like the modem or something?
- screensnot, on 03/08/2009, -0/+1And are any of them better than Sandra?
- pyccki, on 03/09/2009, -0/+1Good1
- AravindJose, on 03/08/2009, -0/+1True.
- klowngoblin, on 03/08/2009, -0/+0right, you go ahead and buy your sandisk overpriced slow ass garbage, goes right along with Apple, Monster cable and Bose
ill stick with my OCZ ATV Turbo drive. - Fogell, on 03/08/2009, -2/+1That's like asking why we shouldn't have sex with different women, in the end they all [swallow] do the same thing, right?
- m3mn0n, on 03/08/2009, -2/+1I disagree.
