Storage/Other by stefan @ 2021-11-08
The mainstream TransMemory U301 USB 3.2 Gen1 Flash Drive from KIOXIA is very compact and quite speedy in term of read speeds. The writes are quite slow, so we would mostly recommend it to be used with smaller files or as a drive to store frequently used program kits such as Windows OS, Office and so on.
The testbench was composed from the following hardware:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X
CPU Cooler: Deepcool Captain 240 EX RGB AIO
Motherboard: BIOSTAR RACING B550GTA
RAM: Patriot Memory Viper RGB Series DDR4
Video: PowerColor Radeon 5700 8GB
Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W
SSD: Patriot P200 512GB
Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840
Here is the total storage space reported by Windows OS; the drive comes formatted FAT32 by default. For testing purposes we will re-format it to NTFS:
To determine the flash drive read speeds, the HD Tune v5 utility was used:
To measure the real life performance, we have used the Total Commander application to copy to the flash drive and from the flash drive the same file and recorded the transfer speeds, after they have stabilized.

We have also performed some extra tests with this drive and the results can be checked out right here:
