Last week I posted about a test I did of different usb flash memories that I have to see which one would perform best.

For the test I used:

• iMac computer running Mac OS X
• iMac computer running Windows 7
• Dell Vostro V131 PC running Linux Kubuntu.

In addition to the usb flash drives i tested last week, I added one more drive. Last week I ordered a new drive – 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive from 7days.com. Here’s a link for you:

From the test I did last week, if you read my post, here’s the link for you:

Which USB Flash Drive is the fastest?

I got a lot of different results, but one thing was clear – which one was the winner.

The fastest usb flash drive in the test was, not surprisingly, the latest one – 32GB flash drive. It was 3x faster on a Mac and 2x faster on Windows, and amazingly much much faster on my Dell Vostro laptop! This was copying a lot of small files. When I tested copying one 700MB file, it was up to 4x faster than other usb flash drives! Absolutely amazing!

So, the best results I got from the 32GB USB flash drive were:

• copying a 150MB folder with 85 files inside: 1 second on Dell Vostro

now to compare, 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive:

• 0.5 seconds!

And then, this time copying one big file – 700MB file:

• 32GB drive – 22 sec.

and on 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive:

• 19 seconds.

So, the new USB 3.0 flash drive is the fastest in all the tests.

Amazing results and I feel sorry for Mac users who don’t have access to USB 3.0 on their computers…
