Hi guys
I have had pretty bad luck buying USB 3/3.1 pendrives here. Once two years ago I bough a cheap Transcend which is still good to this day writing at 20MB/s but it is only 8GB.
I recently bought two USB 3 drives back to back in a span of a couple of months. One PNY and another Transcend. I was disappointed with the PNY writing at less than 10MB/s, so I thought the Transcend would be better, but it's not.
For normal use the pendrives are OK and write speed doesn't matter. But I use UFDs a lot for writing Linux images and VM images as well and testing those images. Normal users won't even realize that speed matters. No store has been able to tell me which of their products has high write speed.
Please tell me your experience and if you have any recommendation, and where I could purchase such a high-speed UFD at least 32GB. I don't mind paying a premium if it's benchmark-proven.
Thanks!
