Transcend V90 ThumbDrive

Frazier Barretto, May 03, 2007 1730 hrs IST

This one's not labeled exclusive for the ladies, but surely the men won't make an issue if it were. So, here's a jewel for all!

Fashionable, Pendant Size, Ultra Light and Compact, Good Bundle.

Bit expensive, Can be misplaced.

Beauty

Subsequent to mentioning its dimensions, I don't think I need to explain how tiny and slim the drive is. The weight of the drive won't even make you realize that it's not an ordinary pendant. The drive shares the very same USB port design as the PQI Pro 220, although this has a much better design especially in terms of safety of the drive. The PQI needed a safety case while the V90 protects itself. The drive slides out of its steel case which protects it and that is also what makes the drive a pendant.



One side of the case is with mother-of-pearl, while the other is glossy steel. The necklace bundled along is a steel chain which completes the pendant. Because of its size, it is a pain to wear and take off. If the appearance wasn't enough, even the hand-strap bundled along is of a smaller size which makes the drive more intended for female usage. The images of the drive should give you a good idea of its splendor.

Performance

The results under are from a standard test of folder and file transfer. The folder contained a few levels of folders and lots of files of various sizes. For the single file we transferred a file of 700 MB. All these tests were done copying data to and from the drive.

Single File Read: 700 MB
Time Taken: 34 Seconds
Speed: 20.5 MBps

Single File Write (700 MB)
Time Taken: 1 Min 50 Seconds
Speed: 6.36 MBps

Multiple File Read (588 MB/766 Files/11 Folders)
Time Taken: 37 Seconds
Speed: 15.8 MBps

Multiple File Write (588 MB/766 Files/11 Folders)
Time Taken: 5 Min 35 Seconds
Speed: 1.75 MBps

The drive when compared to the Kingston Data Mini was only slower in the Multiple File Write test i.e. with regards to size. While in comparison to the PQI Pro 220 drive which sports the same naked USB port, it was way behind in the write speeds as for read speeds the V90 just managed to reach somewhere close.

Benchmark

SiSoftware Sandra 2007 is a soft benchmarking utility and below is the result of the File System Benchmark of the drive. The drive scored an index of 22 MB/s, which is quite good for a drive of its size.
