bigwob Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi Ram guy, I've had an incling that my new 32Gb Voyager seemed slower than my old 16Gb but last night I set a 16Gb file copy going and after the first 2 hours decided to leave it running overnight. I had the drive formatted as NTFS but having read a few posts here, I followed the suggestions and formatted to Fat32 (although this is not what I'd prefer long term). Things don't look any quicker though - I downloaded & ran HDBench, and for a 100Mb file I got the following results :- All :- 6599 Read :- 21566 Write :-7670 RandomRead :- 21566 RandomWrite :- 1992 I've downloaded the SDCardFormatter but I've not used it yet having read a post that said it was useless if Windows Format succeded in formatting the drive (which it did). Can you advise whatI I should do next? Cheers, BigWob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 21, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 21, 2009 The speeds you posted are about normal for that drive so I am not sure what you are expecting, And the person who posted that comment was not a Corsair Person so I would try the SD Card format as it will likely improve the performance.

Hi RG, Really? it's just the drive seems pretty slow, and my figures (21k read/ 7.6k write) didn't seem a million miles away from the ones (18.3k read / 9.9k write)) in this post :- http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=359924 What figures would you genreally expect for the 32Gb? I'll try that SD formatter in the meantime, Chreers, BigWob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 27, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 27, 2009 They will write at about 8 MBps so it is about right but this utility may make it a bit faster. SD-CARD Organization Format Utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwob Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 They will write at about 8 MBps so it is about right but this utility may make it a bit faster. SD-CARD Organization Format Utility. That seems to have helped, Read is up to 22k, write is way up to 11.5k. Thanks RG, BigWob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 28, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 28, 2009 NP and we can try and replace the drive if you like but I do not expect the write to improve much. Let's get it replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
