Speed Tests:
Before we start the speed tests we thought we should give you an accurate size description of the AUTO USB. It is sitting next to a quarter on our desk, which means this is a tiny USB stick.
In our speed tests we saw the AUTO USB was able to max out the USB 2.0 speeds on the read side at 29-29.1 MB/s. The write speeds were a little different coming in at a much slower 7.1-7.2 MB/s write speeds.
Conclusion:
After the dust settled from our testing we found out a few things from the AUTO USB. The Strontium AUTO USB does max out USB 2.0 with the read speeds, but the write speeds are slower, coming in at around 7MB/s. The chip on board was not able to be tested as none of our cars our friends cars had USB connections in their cars. If it does work as intended that will just be an added bonus.
Another thing to keep in mind, this AUTO USB stick has an MSRP of $10 which is a huge factor in buying flash drives. It is nice and cheap with great read speeds and average write speeds for other flash drives in the price range.
With the $10 price weighing heavily on our decision and the great read speeds, the Strontium AUTO USB stick receives the Techreaction.net Gold Silicon Award!
