Introduction
Fast and small is good, right? At least that’s how it works in the computer world. And USB flash drives are no different; we like them fast for data transfer, but also come in a small package. Indeed, the best of both worlds. But the previous USB 2.0 speeds proved woefully inadequate to address increasingly large files and storage capacities, as we seem to have less and less time to wait for something as simple as a file transfer.
This is where USB 3.0 comes into play, and particularly as it’s become nearly commonplace in modern systems. USB 3.0 boasts huge speed increases that can allow us those faster transfer speeds we want, while still maintaining large capacity and highly portable nature of those ubiquitous flash drives.
And this brings us to today’s topic of discussion: the Mushkin Ventura 64GB. Sporting a USB 3.0 interface to vastly improve performance, this little drives pack a huge capacity onto a form factor that can fit onto your key ring.
But what about performance? Around here, we think Performance is King, so just how fast is this flash drive from Mushkin? Let’s find out.
