USB flash drive speed
Probably, each of us has a flash drive, and someone has more than one. But who of us before buying did not ask the question: " Which flash drive is better? ". In this case, the main characteristics, we believe, are the speed of reading and writing. Agree to buy a large flash drive, albeit with a cool design, but with the speed of a floppy disk do not want anyone.
Our project is designed to compare the real speed of flash drives, as well as to share with friends the characteristics of a newly acquired device.
We wrote a performance test flash drives
At the moment, the test produces a sequential recording and reading of data blocks in a file on a flash drive. The blocks have a different size (from 1kb to 16mb), which gives an idea of the performance of the drive at different file sizes and under different conditions of use.
Details of the technical part can be viewed and discussed in the previous topic .
')
Also, a web service has been created that allows you to store the results of performance tests , which actually solves the task of identifying the fastest flash drives (the site has ratings of the fastest writing and fast reading devices).
The site stores reports on each of the tests carried out, so you can share the result of a specific test of your flash drive with friends (at the end of the test, the benchmark gives a direct link to the test report).
We really hope for the inhabitants of Habr, let everyone test their own flash drive and their neighbor's flash drive , then we can find out the speed of almost any flash drive sold in the CIS.
A few days ago we published a closed topic , and the selected subscribers of the Iron blog were able to look at this project first. As a result, many bugs were fixed, some functions were added:
Currently, the database contains test results for about 50 drives.

We and HABR
We really hope for the inhabitants of Habr, let everyone test their own flash drive and their neighbor's flash drive , then we can find out the speed of almost any flash drive sold in the CIS.
A few days ago we published a closed topic , and the selected subscribers of the Iron blog were able to look at this project first. As a result, many bugs were fixed, some functions were added:
- Added search by model.
- Only the fastest drive from the series participates in the top.
- The speed of the benchmark was increased by 25% due to various optimizations.
- Fixed several program interface errors.
Currently, the database contains test results for about 50 drives.
Problems
- Not all flash drives correctly write information about themselves, in such cases it is necessary to enter the model manually, please do not be lazy to write these few words, only then the base will be complete and useful
- The application is not always friendly with anti-virus programs, this is due to the fact that many of them are proxying disk access.
System requirements
- 100MB of free space on the test drive.
- Windows OS with installed .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher
