Usb Flash Drive Speed Test Mac

I use this to backup my photos and company data. 4TB actually only 3TB storage, because its RAID 5. it start up very fast, as soon as my Mac boot up from sleep, its ready. I tested with Black magic disk speed test, both read and write about 500 MB/s, same test on my I-Mac 5K 1TB internal SSD, both read and write about 700MB/s. This drive is 4 times faster than USB 3 and up to 70% speed of my SSD with RAID 5 protection. The drive connect with my Mac through Thunder port 2 then chain to my second monitor. Just a very little noise from the back of the fan, its running as long as my Mac is on. Off when my Mac is sleep. Software is very easy to install, but it takes time to format all the drive to make it ready for RAID 5, about 10 hours. Great product !!

Very happy with this Flash Drive!!! Black Magic Disk Speed Test gives +100MB/s for Read and +45MB/s for Write Very Recommended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the new Samsung T9 Portable 1TB SSD drive. The drive is unexpectedly small and quite attractive with a rubber-like covering. I’m very pleased that the drive comes with both USB-A and USB-C cords for attaching to most any type of device. The drive is connected via USB-C to my Mac Studio computer. The Mac OS instantly recognized the drive and allowed me to format it for my Mac (Mac OS Extended Journaled). I tested the speed with a disk speed test utility, which reported 829.8 MB/s (write) and 890.8 MB/s (read). The speed is approximately 11X faster than my other USB external drives. I am struggling with the included Samsung PSSD utility. The app always tells me that the drive is not connected although my Mac sees it and allows me to use it. I’ve tried all of the Samsung troubleshooting suggestions for Mac OS, but it still remains unusable. That really makes no difference for me to use it. Nevertheless, I like everything about the Samsung T9 Portable 1TB SSD drive. It’s a great addition to my system.

This is a great value-- 5TB will give me the room I need to back up files and archive. This is not the fastest drive but I wasn't looking for speed-- just cheap storage. I was also looking for reliability. This is a good brand. Compact, rugged, and highly visible. Compatible with MAC or Windows. Make sure you use a dedicated cable-- USB C to USB C or USB C to USB A-- no adapters. I tried a USB A adapter on a USB C cable and my IMAC did not see the drive-- not even in disk utility. A regular USB C to USB A cable did the trick. It did not mount directly-- I still had to go in to disk utility but there it was. It comes formatted in EX-FAT but I reformatted easily in to MAC Journal Extended. I was up and running in minutes. I also plugged it in to a Windows 10 laptop before the reformat, and it saw the drive right off. A great purchase and I'm happy with the drive. It's no speed demon, but that's not why I picked it up. Image shows HD and USB C to USB A cable (cable not included).

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 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.

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

Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

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.

Great capacity with great speed - this is the best USB drive yet.
