No performance benchmark? That is not very helpful.

 

[tecmo34]

SP has not released the M01's performance benchmark information to the public, so we'll have to wait and see.

USB 3.0 generally is around 5 gb/sec same as PCIe

Yes, they sport a usb 3.0 bandwidth but many are not 4 or 8 channel and only read/write at 30MBps. I am waiting for more higher end drives to come out of the market and the price to drop before getting one, so knowing the bench is important. Want something like a patriot supersonic magnum but its too expensive.

They'll get sued by Marvel (as in http://marvel.com/) for copyright infringement. xD

"The consumer also has to take a free 60 day trial of Norton Antivirus 2011, because we're paid to give it to you".

Fixed.

Price?? Pertformance?? Oh well manufacturers must disclose these for their showcased products because it's important for the masses. :-(

im going to get the cheapest most reliable 32 or 64 gb flash drive soon.

It is important to note, "The main draw of this flash drive is its USB 3.0 interface, but it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 interfaces."

I am glad to know it has this feature, especially since all USB 3.0 devices are backward compatible to USB 2.0 and 1.1, by definition of the 3.0 specification.

What's this obsession with benchmarks? The important information like weight (10 grams!), color scheme, resistance to fingerprints, and that it has a strap hole were covered in great detail.

...not to mention the built-in LED indicator light. I hate those external ones...

 

[mavroxur]

What a useless article. All I got from this is "Silicon Power made some new USB3.0 flash drives". No performance specs, no prices......

 

[mortsmi7]

I think they copied a magazine ad for this article, then gave it a snazzy title.

Remember Tom's did a torture test on a generic flash drive and it survived pretty much everything?

 

[umonpour]
