Aluminum toughness USB memory that can read out the fastest 200 Mb / s

It is convenient to have a USB memory when exchanging photos, movies, etc. with people nearby in environments where high-speed network communication can not be used on the go. The USB memory that is rolling in the editorial department of GIGAZINE is a bit old and the transfer speed is slow and the capacity is small, so it is said that they want a USB memory that can not be broken by a large capacity and high speed at a great price for a moment or a little As a result of examining various things, "Flexi-Drive Ultimate(Tax included at 64 GB 10,899 yen) "Was a good balance of price and performance, so we decided to purchase and check the ability.

In addition, the point that became a point in the selection
· Aluminum body with high rigidity
· Data transfer is fast with 8 channel chip controller
It is called.

The package looks something like this. For products that only sell toughness specifications, the background is a wild design where images like concrete rips are treated. There are 64GB and 128GB models, but this time 128GB (19,800 yen) Purchased.


According to the description on the back, the data transfer rate is 200 MB maximum reading speed, 120 MB maximum writing speed per second.


Looking from the front like this. The body size is 79 mm × 27 mm × 9.3 mm.


On the other side "Www.sharkoon.comAnd the URL of the selling agency is written.


The side is like this. Although processing such as anti-slip is not given, I have never said that caps are particularly difficult to open.


Make the same on the other side.


The measured weight is about 24 grams.


It's about 10 yen coin in weight.


Compared with the USB memory that was in the editorial department, you can see that the width is nearly double.


When opening the lid it looks like this.


It is the same as the general USB 3.0 compatible memory, and the inside of the insertion mouth is blue.


There is a protrusion on the opposite side of the insertion port, and a cap removed in this part can be attached.


As you can attach a cap with such a feeling, it will be reduced carelessly that you leave it somewhere.


The points on the design should have grooves in the top of the main unit. Together with the texture of aluminum, it is making it appealing like a rifle magazine like heavy duty.


I tried to insert it into the notebook PC. Since there is a width wider than a general USB memory, in some cases it may interfere with the next terminal.


"It is free to measure the speed of flash memory, HDD, SSD, etc."CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1The speed measured using "is as follows. This value is Windows 7 (64 bit), Core i 7-2620 M (2.7 GHz), memory 16 GB, HDD 750 GB "Let's Note CF-S10"It is what measured it.


In addition, it was found that data was read and written continuously for about 10 minutes, and the main body became quite hot as over 40 degrees. Although it is not a level that it can not be held, care is necessary because heat may be more easily transmitted than plastic because it is made of aluminum.
