16GB Voyager GT - Write speed issue

[itechuser]

Dear RAM GUY,

 

I purchased a 16GB Voyager GT 2 months ago. I notice the poor performance on the write speed and it leads me here after some research on the internet.

 

I have read the following posts and have followed all the recommendations from you and other knowledgeable users.

My initial benchmark on HDBENCH V3.4 Beta6 100MB test was

Read: 22750 Write: 7773 RRead: 21768 and RWrite: 2421

 

Then I took the following actions

1. Formatting the drive with the SD Organization format utility

2. Formating the drive using cmd prompt

3. Using "optimize for performance" mode instead of "optimize for quick removal" mode

 

Now I am getting the following result on HDBENCH

Read: 22285 Write: 11556 RRead: 21988 and RWrite: 3465

 

Tested on 3 different machines and there is little difference on the result.

 

According to your site, I am expecting the write speed should between 14-17mbps - See RAM GUY http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=76788 reply dated 02-21-09. My performance is 27% less than the lower end of the range of speeds you indicated, which is significant.

 

Please assist,

 

Regards

Dear RAM GUY,

 

I purchased the 16GB Voyager at Computers and Parts land, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

 

You can still locate the product in their green guide....
