Testing

Using the previous data I had available from my last batch of USB flash drive testing I could go ahead and bench the Survivor GTR to see how it compared.

I initially used Sisoft Sandra to bench using its testing suite. This should give a good indication of the overall performance of the flash drive.

I also performed my own test which comprised of transferring the same 580MB file from my last batch of testing. I transferred the data both to and from each USB pen to get both a read and a write time in seconds. In order to make the transfer as smooth as possible I transferred the files between the flash drives and the secondary HDD in my test system.

Since this wasn’t the system drive it will hopefully transfer in a constant and uninterrupted manner.

I repeated each flash drive test three times during both read and write testing and took the average.

I can also confirm that I tested the drive on Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista and Windows 7 with no issues at all.
