I made a graph to show the difference in the drive index speed which is basically the overall speed of the drive. As you can see the USB 2.0 drive is a lot faster than the old 1.1 drive. Not only is this evident by the benchmarking but I can really tell a difference when saving information to the drives. I am actually using this USB 2.0 Pen Drive to write this review and I use it all the time for other things.
Conclusion
I couldn’t wait to review this drive because I was getting tired of my previous USB 1.1 drive which is too slow for me. This drive is exceptionally faster than the old one and I am very pleased with the performance it offers.
I also like the fact that this drive is double the size of the USB 1.1 that I have. 256MB is more than enough space for this kind of device and I have yet to fill it to capacity with everyday use. The docking station that the drive comes with is great because you can just put it on your desk to plug the drive in.
This will be very nice if your case does not have front USB, and even if it dose you will probably end up using it. The only thing that I think would make this drive better is to make the housing of the drive thinner so that it wouldn’t be so big.
Overall I am going to give this product a 9.5/10 and award it the OCmodshop Seal Of Approval because it’s an great product. I would like to thank Memory Suppliers for sending this over to review.
