Simple Technology about USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Flash Drive

USB 3.0 flash drive performance in a USB 2.0 port

While it is clear that USB 3.0 flash drives on a USB 3.0 interface dramatically outperform USB 2.0 flash drives on a USB 2.0 interface, USB 3.0 ports are not nearly as common as USB 2.0 ports. USB 2.0 is nearly ubiquitous in the wild, while USB 3.0 is now only found on more modern motherboards and laptops. Odds are you will be using your flash drives at work, school, and at friends' and family members'—or maybe even at your own home—where there are no USB 3.0 ports. I personally do not have a USB 3.0-enabled mobile system. Thus, are USB 3.0 flash drives faster than USB 2.0 flash drives even when used in a USB 2.0 port?

And there is the dramatic answer to that question!

...Perhaps the dramatic answer was a bit premature. USB 3.0 flash drives are not unequivocally faster than USB 2.0 flash drives in sustained reads when both are using a USB 2.0 interface.

Once again, sustained writes of smaller files are faster on USB 3.0 flash drives. Interestingly, the more expensive USB 2.0 flash drive (Kingston's R500) markedly outperforms the budget USB 2.0 flash drive (ADATA's S007).

For sustained reads of MP3s, unlike sustained reads of PDFs, the USB 3.0 flash drive advantage is unambiguous.

The four USB 3.0 flash drives that wrote the ISO fastest on the USB 3.0 interface also wrote the ISO fastest on the USB 2.0 interface.

The USB 3.0 flash drives are once again faster than their USB 2.0 counterparts.

There you have it: even if you don't have USB 3.0-enabled systems or frequently use USB 2.0 ports, USB 3.0 flash drives are worth considering because they are almost always faster than USB 2.0 flash drives. This is especially true when writing files to the flash drive—sustained writes of many small files can be more than 100% faster on a USB 3.0 flash drive than a USB 2.0 flash drive, even when using a USB 2.0 interface.

This will be one of my next investment to get for my research and studies in the coming 4 years. I hope it is a good investment

Google releases Android 3.2 Honeycomb SDK

Life is hard.. Still choosing a good plan.

I feel that staying in the IT line in Singapore is tough. There are many challenges faced with the foreigners coming into our homeland taking the same jobs as us. After reading through the modules offered in a IT degree, i feel that many of which is not to my interest. There are way too many things that I wouldn't want to specialize or work in my future jobs. Another way is to get as much certified certification in my field and attained a valuable skill. But i simply don't understand why so many people said, without a degree will not succeed. I feel that the society is making degree as one of the compulsory education in ones' life. I really feel tired of doing things that is forced by the society.

My resolve towards being an System Analyst Specialist

After attaining, my Diploma in Information Communication Technology (Specialized in Web Technology), i will like to step into a microsoft-certified certification. I am currently working in a IT solution company as a Service Desk Specialist. I feel that i am in a right environment as I am able to apply most of my troubleshooting skills and exposed to the overall technologies and services used by the whole ministry. By the way, yes i'm supporting the whole ministry as a front-line position.

I am going to attain my MCSE certification first, as to familiarize with all the full Windows 7 client and Windows 2003 server administration. It is ultimately beneficial towards my goal and I am planning to concentrate on this certification seriously.

Back to blogging =D Tablet !!

It's been 7 months of not blogging. My friend motivate me to blog as I start to feel that my little thoughts can be shared with everyone.

Software-wise is the cloud and web technologies which is hovering all around us. I will try to commit in doing a weekly posting.
