c-j-archer Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm using a 8GB Flash Voyager (not GT) and it seems to be slow while reading/writing. I copied a 673 MB file getting the following speeds: write: ~2.8 MB/s (copied in 4 min) reading: ~11.2 MB/s (copied in 1 min) Testing the drive with HD Tune I get: for 512 byte files: 0.9 MB/s Transfer Rate for 8MB files: 22.1 MB/s I tested it under Windows Vista - the filesystem of the stick is NTFS with 4kb cluster size. Are these speeds normal? For me it looks as if the drive is too slow. I never get the normal speed of ~10MB/s as mentioned here: http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=64455 Must the drive be replaced?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 14, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 14, 2008 The Average sequential read would be 9.1Mbs and Write of 3.3 Mbs. You stated that yours was 22.1 MB/s and you should be using HD Bench with a 100MB file size to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-j-archer Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Using HD Bench I get the following results: http://cjarcher.pytalhost.eu/images/houseofhelp/hdbench.th.jpg According to these results the speed is O.K.? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 14, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yes they are O.K. the speed of the MLC based flash drives is not as good and as SLC but SLC is getting to expensive and has some limitations. So everyone has moved to MLC based controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reckless Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi, just wondered if I could also ask for some guidance regarding this please (newbie here so bear with me) I've recently bought one of these and I'm a bit concerned that something's amiss. I tried to copy a file of 360mb to my (non GT) 8gb voyager and it took over six and a half minutes. Also, when copying files over, my entire system goes sluggish with mouse movement skipping. I'm using USB2 cards. I used HD Tach which told me I had a read speed of 14.9mb if that's of any help. Cheers and thanks for any comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
