Slow Voyager GT 4 Gb

[GiulioP]

Greetings from Italy.

I have bought a new Corsair Flash pen 4 Gb Voyager GT version 1100.

I made several test on my pc (P4 2.4 Ghz, 1 Gb Ram) and on my notebook (Acer Travel Mate 800, Intel Centrino) and it seems it's slower then the declared values. Here the values from 3 different programs (and some screenshot taken from the tests run on my pc)

Flash Memory Toolkit:

Average Read Speed: 22.8 Mb/s (Notebook) 22.2 Mb/s (PC)

Average Write Speed: 22.1 Mb/s (Notebook) 19.9 Mb/s (PC)

While its s bit slow its still with in spec. But I would suggest testing with a 100MB File size and try and format the drive from a command Prompt.

However, if you like we would be happy to replace it, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it.

How can I format it from a command prompt? I have already formatted the pen drive from Windows XP.

 

I have already tried to copy some big files on the pen drive: 100 Mb in 15 seconds (=6,87 Mb/s!!), 256 Mb in 20 seconds (12,8 Mb/s), 699 in 80 seconds (8,73 Mb/s!!) from the 2nd hd and 55 seconds from the 1st hd (12,07 Mb(s), 698 in 58 seconds (12 Mb/s) and so on...

so the pen drive is much much much slower then the tests I do above.
