Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 Review Hey everyone today I’m gonna be reviewing
this USB drive, it is the sandisk extreme 64 GB USB 3.0 flash drive and it is a fantastic
flash drive.
I’ve had it for about a month now and my initial thoughts are it is really fast it’s
really quite well built and it also packs a lot of data being 64 gigabytes which is
one of the highest for this read write speeds, so let’s run some tests and see how it performs.
Alright so let’s have a look at this USB as you can see it’s made out of plastic
but it is really a solid feeling USB it does, it feel pretty good in your hand.
It’s also got a retractable USB connection which is really good because it doesn’t
mean that you’re gonna be having to carry around a USB hood or even losing it which
is something that I tend to do quite often.
This one is a 64 gigabyte version and it does come in 16 and 32 gigabyte versions as well
but a little tip if you want the faster speed you want to be getting the 64 gigabyte version
as this has the fastest speeds.
Let’s put it into the computer and do some tests and see how it turns out.
Okay so now I’m on my computer let’s test out this USB.
What I’m gonna do is bring up black magic discs speed test, I’m pretty sure this is
only for the Mac but there are definitely some other options if you got a Windows if
you want to test it out how fast your own hard drive is and how fast your external devices
are.
So what we want to do is go here to the middle click on select tiger drive and it will come
up here because I’ve already got it selected in my devices on here on the left so just
do that, now we’re gonna choose this.
Okay and then all you have to do is click speed tester and what it’s gonna do is bring
up the read write speeds.
Now they do change a little bit over time but as you can see you do get 130 megabytes
per second for write and 199 for read.
I have had the write go up a lot higher than this but I do have quite a bit of stuff on
the USB at the moment a few of my video files but as you can see it’s relatively an constantly
130 megabytes for write and 200 megabytes for read which is super fast for a USB, especially
a 64 gigabyte USB, it’s not as if you’re having an SSD here so it’s pretty good,
so that’s about that let’s do another test, for just a everyday test, for instance
I’ve got this video here which is a 104 megabyte video we’ll drag it directly unto
this right now, see how fast it is okay there you go that’s done, so it’s incredibly
fast.
Okay so just for another example I have another USB, this is a 32 gigabyte sandisk fit.
Now this is a very very small USB fit, it’s about the size of a quarter, a penny so it
is really really small and let’s see how fast it is because these USB 2.0 so it should
be a bit slower check it out.
Yeah, so it’s still transferring and as you can see it really is a lot slower, in
fact it’s having a lot of trouble even transferring it so you can see that USB 3.0 speeds are
incredibly fast.
I even do a lot of video editing straight off this USB because if it is faster than
for instance a fireware hard drive as you see but that video has now been transferred.
Let’s just do it back the other way on this 64 gigabyte USB, replace that as you can see
it’s less than three seconds so it’s super fast.
100% I can recommend this USB, if you’re thinking about getting it, it is the USB to
get especially USB 3.0.
Now there is another USB that I’ve been looking up, it is a, I think it’s a PNY
128 gigabytes that I’m gonna be looking at getting.
That’s also got pretty fast read or write speeds not as fast as this but it does pack
128 gigabytes of data so if you’re interested in that hit the subscribe button because I
will be having a review of that very very soon and also hit the like button if you found
this at all good and I’ll see you for the next video, see you guys.
