RaiDeN323 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 HI i bought a voyager 16Gb (The blue one) I noticed it runs slow, i orignally did a quick format to NTFS int he beginning. After browsing the forum i did the format RAMGUY suggested, making it Fat 3 and via CMD. I also have this HDBENCH program. Before formatting it was really low, below 4mb. I formatted and write speed was upto 15, however random write is only 2.5 I put data on it, about 256MB or so of files, probbaly more smaller files. I did the test again and i got around 7MB write, just with that data on it. What is the issue here? My drive was in a case labelled REFURB however it was advised that it was was just new as that is their process of warranty (replace). I am in australia so if someone says so i will return it to the retailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You bought it new, but it was a refurb? Was it packaged with something else (either physically or as a special deal? The only time I'm aware that their USB sticks were ever sold as refurb was with some special combo deal through a distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiDeN323 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Was packaged and returned. Basically it was brand new. Normal process apparently. Any thoughts on the performance questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
