Average Usb 2.0 Flash Drive Speed

This Flash Drive is very fast as it of 3.0 speed type and takes advantage of USB 3.0 vs. 2.0. Works with either though. Small in size. I take advantage of this and keep it always plugged into my laptop for additional storage. I use it for holding archives of files I moved off of my SSD drive that I have backed up and then keep them available for immediate reference. I have not had any issues and I use it daily for the last two months.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

I was outgrowing my 1 TB external single drives, and it was about time to separate my work projects from my personal. The item arrived quickly, and sported the lovely new electronic smell. Install was a breeze; as I don't have the need for RAID at the moment, I converted the drives quickly to be independent of each other, with one drive making multiple backups of the other. My system doesn't support USB 3.0, so I can't comment on the speed. But I can say USB 2.0 speeds are similar to other external drives, averaging around 20-25 MB/sec, according to the disc tests I ran. 4 months later the drive bay still runs like a charm. It is very quiet, located about 4 feet away from ear shot, and can only be heard when booting up the desktop as the drives spin up. This won't win you any awards for speed if you're doing heavy video processing. For now, it serves my purpose as a drive for my photography business, but I fear as the cameras keep increasing in MP sizes, I may need to update the desktop to either USB 3.0 or something similar, as USB 2.0 is starting to show its age (rendering full size previews of thousands of images can take a long time)!

I'm using this drive with my Macbook 6,1 with Mountain Lion and a 250GB hard drive. The primary use of the Elements drive is to use Time Machine to backup the Macbook which only has USB 2.0 so I can't comment on the USB 3.0 speed. But I have no complaints with the read/write speed being on USB 2.0. I formatted the drive into 2 500GB partitions - 1 for Time Machine and 1 for General. So far, the drive has performed to expectations. It has a great compact form factor. My only little concern is the connection between the hard drive and the provided cable in terms of durability. It seems that if you are not careful the connector can easily bend or break. So I make sure that I disconnect the cable when not is use or transporting the drive. To me, it's not a big deal since I usual baby my gadgets. Overall, very good external hard drive. Highly recommend.

A very good USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Works well, but it is slower than a 3.0 Flash Drive. The price makes this an okay item.

I was able to combine several smaller usb's onto this 128GB, very convenient. My computer only has 2.0 flash and this drive works well.

I wanted to get a faster Flash drive than the USB 2.0 units I have, so I bought the Kingston unit because I have always had good solid reliability with my other Kingston products. This unit lives up to the quality and reasonable price I am used to having with Kingston products.

I use this hard drive daily, it is great and the speed is much better compare to 2.0

This 128 gig 3.0 USB flash drive rocks, your price was outstanding for a drive of this speed and size. The first time I used it I thought that a transfer of about 6 large files had not happened because it was so fast, thanks for your prompt delivery also!

This is a good size flash drive for transporting files to other sites. The USB 3.0 speed makes it a quick transfer.
