Initially I ran Sisoft Sandra’s benching suite.

I expected the Corsair Survivor GTR to match the impressive results the TwinMOS had returned in the previous USB flash drive review.


Sisoft Sandra.

What I ended up with was a massive increase in the 'operations a minute' score. It was way out ahead so I repeated the test another four times to confirm. This was the average and is seriously impressive.

Next up I tried some real world performance by transferring a 580MB file from the PC HDD to the Survivor GTR USB flash drive.


Write speed.

Write speeds up first and you can now see why the operations a minute score was so impressive... it's almost three times as fast as the TwinMOS!

It's more like a read speed result than a write speed. Again this was checked repeatedly and averaged out. An incredible result.

Finally I tested the read speed against the other drives by transferring the file back to the test system's HDD.


Read speed.

Here the Survivor GTR beat the competition once again. More than 10% faster than the best competition - it's a staggeringly fast drive!
