not great 08/29/2012
This review is from: Silicon Power Blaze B10 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model SP016GBUF3B10V1B
Pros:
Cheap as shell-shocker deal. (Almost) 16GB.
Cons:
VERY slow--write speed under 7MB/sec, read around 22 MB/sec. Nowhere close to even USB 2.0 speeds or the (admittedly modest) speeds advertised on the product page. Smaller than advertised. Even using the disk manufacturers' 1GB=1000000000 bytes, it's only 15.5 GB. (And yes, formatted capacity is even less, especially using most computers' 1GB=2^30 bytes, but that's a sad fact of life.)
Overall Review:
Not a terrible deal overall considering cost per GB, but don't buy it for speed.
