Kingston DataTraveler Max 1TB Flash Drive Review

The PCMark 10 Data Drive Benchmark has been designed to test drives that are used for storing files rather than applications. You can also use this test with NAS drives, USB sticks, memory cards, and other external storage devices.

The Data Drive Benchmark uses 3 traces, running 3 passes with each trace:

Trace 1. Copying 339 JPEG files, 2.37 GB in total, into the target drive (write test).
Trace 2. Making a copy of the JPEG files (read-write test).
Trace 3. Copying the JPEG files to another drive (read test)

Here we show the total bandwidth performance for each of the individual traces.

The DataTraveller Max does pretty well in PCMark 10 Data Drive Benchmark sitting halfway in all the results charts.
