Customer Reviews

Decent speed for a large drive like this
This drive stores a whopping 32GB, so I expected it to be horribly slow. Much to my surprise, the file transfer speed was pretty good. I can't think of having to carry around this much data, but at around $80, you can't go wrong. I'd give it a 5star, but it's not as fast as the DTS/DTSP series. Excellent drive though, and I've tested a lot of them.

A fair tradeoff
As others have mentioned, it's not fast. At worst it's been as low as 5mbps, but generally speaking I can fill it in 35-40 minutes, which isn't bad at all for a 32GB drive. If you just need small files fast, you're better off with a high speed 2GB drive anyway, this is more for your weekly personal backup to put in the safe deposit box, or that sort of use.

I would also like to point out for those noticing that it reads "30.1GB" in Windows - we have reached a point where there is a noticeable difference between a gigabyte (what this has 32 of) and a gibibyte (what this has 30.1 of). The terms have been confused because they were used in two different standards, but your operating system reads data in binary groupings by JDEC standards, so it's technically measuring in kibibytes (1024 bytes), mebibytes (1024 kibibytes), and gibibytes (1024 mebibytes). Drives are sold in SI unit gigabytes (1000 megabytes) rounded down. If you multiply it out, a 32 gigabyte drive is 32,000,000,000 bytes, while your operating system calls it "32 GB" at 34,359,738,368 bytes. So no, you're not being cheated out of that last 1.9GB.

Large Drive and Fairly Fast
I have several drives with 4GB to 16GB. The problem was I had to copy different files onto different drives. I needed a larger Flash Drive to be able to copy virtually all my files on just one drive and this one fit the bill.

Aside from holding nearly all your files, it is also fairly fast. I copied 5GB of files in just 12 minutes. There may be faster drives, but considering the 32GB and low price, this one is well worth considering.
