How we tested USB Flash Drive

08 October, 2008 in supplier

80GB Fujitsu HDD

Each drive was tested in a variety of scenarios as well as on different operating systems such as Win98, Win2000/XP, and Mac OS X. We tested on various kinds of hardware and USB hubs. We carried each drive around and gave them a fair amount of real world use to see how each would hold up to the rigors of daily usage. The following systems were used for the majority of our testing:china usb flash drives Supplier

To round things out, we benchmarked each USB Flash drive using various applications. For Windows, we used SiSoft Sandra 2004.2.9.104. On the Mac, we used SpeedTools QuickBench program. We also used a “stop-watch” Perl script in Windows to replicate the Sandra write-performance benchmarks as well as create custom benchmarks. This combination of benchmarking across platforms allowed us to get a good picture of performance on each drive and each platform.
