What is the read/write speed?
888330
I don't know the exact speeds, but it's one of the slower drives I have. I have the 8GB version and I don't recommend it.

It will only write at a slower speed, due to it not being USB 3.0, but it works well. If you only have USB 2.0 port, then this is a good Stick, I own several. Plus I installed a USB 3.0 in my PC, a good upgrade for less then $30. easiest way to calc speed and look at an ad, for USB 3.0, it will say how much faster then USB 2.0

It appears that the Writing speed is about 5.60 MByte/s and the reading Speed is about 7.37 MByte/s. This is based on some of the tests I was able to run on my PNY Attache III 16 GB USB 2.0.

Yes, however it runs at half speed. I get 40mb/s instead of 80mb/s write speed. Read speed is okay but there are intermittent drops in speed

The Write speed was between 9.83 MB/s and 14.43 MB/sThe Read speed was between 64 MB/s and 78 MB/sI have the 16 gb and I used usbflashspeed for benchmark

I wrote a non-techie review of my 64g and 128g. I compared writing 37.3 gig of data - the San Disk disk took 5:55 minutes for the 64g and 5:50 for the 128g. The other 2 (not cheapies) took between 25 and 36 minites. All were done with the same source data on the same computer using the same USB3 port. They were all USB 3 drives. Not sure what the specs are, SanDisk has them on their website, but I can tell you it is faster than any of the others out there except maybe the Lexar and the price on those is much higher.

Sandisk is remarkably bad for info. I know that the Titanium series is faster than the regular Micro, coming in at 15MB/s read speed & 9MB/s write speed. I seem to recall that the Micro is closer to 10MB read and 6MB write.

Appreciate the feedback. What does 30mb per second read mean? Is that from the disk to camera? Or camera to PC? And if I do go lower what will i lose out on? i.e. what potential wil lbe untapped? Sorry...newbie here and appreciate your help.

As I understand it that the maximum speed of the Interface between the computer and the device. Since the device is basically all Solid State electronics, as opposed to a traditional spinning rust HD, the 6gb/sec is actually closed to a true read/write speed than you might imagine. note that that's 6gb ie BITS not BYTES... IE 8 b's per byte plus handshaking overhead but is a still twice that of tradition SATA which is only 3gb/sec max.

Any speed should be fine. What is more important is to use a name brand microSD card.

rated speed for read/write. But Sandisk Class 4 tested among highest in lab tests.

The class number is the write speed. The higher the number the faster the writing speed, I think it corresponds to 4kb/sec so a 10 is 10kb/sec.

The specs say around 190MB/s. In my experience with it so far, that is about right.

I got between 5.6 MB/s for large files over 4 GB and 6.2 MB/s for files less than 1MB using a USB 2.0 port.

A regular harddrive reads and writes about about 80 megs per second, this drive does it at around 400 mps. Its really impressive, but you need to make sure both the drive and the computer its connected to have SSDs and thunderbolt to take advantage of the speed.

I am using an older desktop computer and with a USB 3.0 card installed into my computer. Testing speed using HD Tune Pro and a 2GB file I get a write speed 105 MB/s and a read speed of 130MB/s. You will never get maximum stated speed as this is faster than a mechanical Hard Drive you would need a SSD Drive for maximum speed. I purchased the 64GB Version late 2013 and use every day and never had a problem and love the speed.

This device is a writer, not a reader. If you are intending to read (as in, watch) BluRays, this isn't the device for you. If, however, what you intend to do is backup your data files to BluRay format, you want this. I cannot provide the actual write speed data for this device, but on USB 3, my experience is that it is fairly fast, determined of course by the amount and type of data you are writing.

Speed. Higher numbers mean faster read and write speeds. Two things to bear in mind. 1. The cited speed is usually the reading speed. The writing speed is nearly always slower. 2. And the read/write speeds of your device are the ultimate limits. That said, I generally buy as high a speed rating as my device can use if I will be writing (or reading) large files (photos, videos). For use when transfer speed is not so important, price becomes a more important selection factor.

I don't have the 32gb, I have the 64gb drive. I don't have specific speeds, but this guy is really fast when paired with a 3.0 USB. I've saved very large AutoCAD and Photoshop files on it and it writes very quickly.
