Flash drive benchmark

[entropy]

I got my Sandisk 256 Mini Cruzer today, and ran ATTO on it. It's USB 2.0. I know next to nothing about flash media, so is this speed pretty good, or is it way too low?

Same as mine. I have the same Cruzer.

I understand that 3.5 on writes is excellent and 12 on reads is max so it is right where I would expect it to be on a Flash drive.

K, just wanted to check :) Thanks, man. Any idea what's up with this (http://short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17825) ?

I have had that issue crop up a few times on different setups. Never could get it to work right. Ended up doing a clean install and it was always fine after that. I never dug into it deep enough to find out what was doing it.

Mine is doing the beginnings of it now. When I put a cd in the drive it won't change to show the volume label or icon in My Computer. Double click and it shows the files. Started this after I uninstalled SP2. Gonna wait to see if it fixes after SP2 release is installed. If not I'll do a fresh install again.

Wish I could tell you something good. Maybe one of the other guys has looked into. I know it's a pretty common issue.
