Mushkin 32GB SDHC Review

Testing:

SiSoft's Sandra 2011 SP3 features a specific benchmark for thumb-drives and other externally based flash media. Sandra 2011 writes files of varying sizes to the drive multiple times to measure performance, reminiscent of Flash Memory Toolkit's testing method. A sub-benchmark is also conducted that focuses more on sector use. Higher read and write speeds are better.

Removable Storage Benchmark:

As with Flash Memory Toolkit, Sandra 2011 SP3 shows Mushkin's card consistently writing at higher transfer speeds, and in doing so, surpassing Kingston's 32GB Class 10 offering, but at the same time, not reading those files back as fast as it could. Make no mistake, however, it is much closer to meeting class 10 specifications than Kingston's 32GB Class 10 card.
