Hi guys,

My trusty old 4gb scandisk stick has given up on me and I'm in the market for a new one... I'm thinking 32gb (nice bit of future proofing ;)) but I'm not sure what I'm looking at - is there a best all-rounder or anything atm?

I'm after speed and reliability, anything else is a bonus :cool:
 
I just got a corsair flash voyager 16gb usb 3.0 and the speeds are pretty nice.
30mb/s read, 20mb/s write usb 2.0 and 70mb/s read and i think around 50mb/s write.
 
Again a +1 for the corsair flash voyager GT.

I've got a 16GB one and speeds and very impressive when used in a usb 3.0 socket
 
Right, I got a 32gb Transcend 700 in the end and only after much deliberation :)

First impressions were good, I used it straight away to move a single 10gb macrium backup file from one machine to the other - not sure of the actual time it took because I went to make a cup of tea, it had finished by the time I had got back... that was file but I'm, just copying 5.9gb of drivers to the stick and although windows started off showing it as 30mb it soon stabilised a about 6mb! I'm only using the stick on a usb 2.0 (windows did say 'this device might perform faster etc. in usb 3.0' when I plugged it in) port but I was expecting things to move a bit quicker than that?!

I'm sure reviews mention that this new generation work better with big, single files as opposed to small, bitty ones :confused:

That's what I'm putting it down to atm!
 
u can get them so cheap now adays but the cheap ones are usualy slower... seen 16gig sandish for a fiver....

but always check read/write speeds :) thats the catch
