What speeds are you getting. Write/Read


The heck? I just read the specs of the 32gb...
Write SpeedUp to 12MBps
Thats not even close to USB3 speeds.

A lot of the cheaper USB 3.0 drives have lousy write speeds.

Then again, cheaper USB 2.0 drives were pretty mediocre too, but with lousy read speeds as well.

Think of this replacing their cheap USB 2.0 drives with same writes, but at least faster reads.

They are validated as "windows 8 to go" if they are decent enough. (to use as bootable windows 8 )

I own a 32GB Microcenter USB2.0 flash drive, and it is quite possibly the SLOWEST USB2.0 drive I've ever used. (Speaking of the write speeds.) Half a MB per sec write speeds. (Read speeds were fine.)
