Performance

We used the following devices for our comparison:

• OCZ Rally 1GB
• OCZ Mini Kart 1 GB
• OCZ Roadster 1 GB
• Super Talent RBST 1 GB
• Corsair Flash Voyager 512 MB
• Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 512 MB
• Sandisk Cruzer Micro 2 GB
• PQI Traveling Disk i221 1 GB
• Verbatim Store'n'Go Pro 2 GB
• SuperTalent RBST 1 GB
• A-Data MyFlash PD7 1 GB
• A-Data Football Disk 512 MB
• Thermaltake MUSE external HDD enclosure
• Generic Stick USB 1.1 256 MB

HDTach was used in the following two benchmarks.


This first chart is the average read performance of the i810 drive in Megabytes per second (MB/s). The drive's read is a little above average, but is nothing off the charts. Its performance is still quite good and will suffice for almost any end-user.


The next performance chart is one that measures Access Time, which is rated in Milliseconds (ms). The Intelligent i810 drive shines when it comes to access time with its of 0.7ms. It is right up there with the leaders of all the other drives we have so far tested.


We also use ATTO disk benchmark to see how the drive performed with different sized files. We used the default settings of the application which tested files sized in the range of 0.5 KB to 1024 KB. If you look closely you'll notice once the benchmark hit the 64 KB file size and larger, the performance leveled off. This always seems to be the case with drive tests, that files 64 KB and larger are what are needed for optimum performance.
