When formatting with SDFormatter, if you don't already know, pay careful attention at all screen instructions. SD-CARD Organization SDFormatter 2.0.0.3 >
The /U switch may be superfluous after using the SDFormatter, but I still use it.īefore you spend too much time with more test results, because RAM GUY will likely demand it, I would recommend you use the latest SD-CARD and HDBench software to perform your tests. Based on my experience, this is a decent tool, but I have always seen better results by following its format with the Command Line syntax FORMAT X: /FS:FAT32 /A:32K /U (where X is your drive). In addition, he may suggest that you format your Survivor with the SD-CARD SDFormatter tool. One thing I am positive he will suggest is to test with HDBench 3.40 Beta 6 at 100MB. It will be interesting to see what RAM GUY has to offer to this discussion. Is your drive set to Optimize for quick removal or Optimize for performance, DistortedVision?Īt approx 10.3MBps, your real world 2.43GB transfer rates look nice to me (assuming they are Write). Looks like NTFS gets punished in the Read, but Write is consistent with FAT32 and exFAT. It is a GREAT result for the Flash Voyager series - not GT models.Ĭan I ask why you choose to use an antiquated version of HDBench?ĮxFAT Write speed look nice too. Though, not familiar with the Survivor series, this may be a poor result.
I also measured how long it took to copy a 2.43Gb iso file to each file system: (FAT32 formatted with SD Formatter and exFAT & NTFS just with Vista). I've measured everything again and this time put the Survivor into a USB port directly on the motherboard rather than using my Belkin USB hub.Īgain, HD-Bench was run immediately after formatting. Yes my mistake - I uploaded the wrong file for exFAT. I installed this Microsoft hotfix to enable exFAT support on my Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server machines: Is it okay to use exFAT with my Corsair Survivor? Is there a special format tool like SD Formatter that I should use or is formatting it with Windows okay? I also tested how long it would take to write a 5.45Gb directory of 128 files:ĭo the HD-Bench figures look okay? I was surprised at how long it took to copy with NTFS.
HD-Bench was run immediately after formatting. I tested the speeds using HD-Bench as follows: The default FAT32 doesn't meet my requirements because I regulary need to use it for files larger than 4Gb. I've just bought a Corsair Survivor 16Gb and wondering which would be the best filing system to use.
