sogtulakk Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I bought my 32 GB Survivor flash drive a month ago through ebay. It was a brand new drive. Have been using it since then, I had already used about 12 GB and last night I experienced it was turning really slow to continue using it. After reading this forum I did the bench things and I also formated it with the SDFormatter tool mentioned at this forum. The benchs I got were these: Before formatting: http://www.mzone.com.ar/imagenes/bench1.jpg After formatting: http://www.mzone.com.ar/imagenes/bench2.jpg I think this is very slow. Please let me know if I can do something to improove it. Thanks Luis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sogtulakk Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ok, I guess the drive is not bad. I'm now testing it on my Linux Debian box, and it works fine here, as it was when I loaded the first 12 GBs on it. The problem has obviously been found when trying to use it with my notebook on Win XP. I will make further tests on other PCs with different OS to find out what was wrong. Making a copy from my notebook to the drive of a file of 350MB took around 15 minutes or more, which is I think a lot more than regular (0,38 MB/sec). Now from my Linux desktop it seems to be able to copy 10 GB in 50 minutes (3,33 MB/sec). Much better. Thanks for fast answer and sorry if it was my fault and not the drive's.
