ADATA AS102-32G-RGY Pro 32GB USB3.0 100MB/S Read 50MB/S Write Flash Memory Drive Titanium Grey

Comment:
I bought this on specs & reviews and so far it's been great. No issues and the speeds are good. When using via USB 2.0 here's what I get in AS SSD benchmark:Sequential Read: 33.28Sequential Write: 28.93These remained the same whether 30% full or 30% empty.

Got this so I will finally have a descent USB drive. 32Gb is plenty for anything, for me at least. Was really surprised how fast USB 3.0 really was, was getting 50+ mb/s write speeds. Not much to say, great drive.

Comment:
Overall, great usb drive. Large capacity and I like the housing.

Comment:
This a the first USB 3 flash drive I own that I really feel is using the speed of USB3. Previous one where barely faster than USB2. Even own one ... cough kingston ... cough that have abysmal write speed of 5 MB/s. Adata hit a home run for me with this drive.

Comment:
This is essentially the best bang-for-your-buck USB 3.0 flash drive at the moment. Though not the fastest, it's quite speedy compared to the el cheapo drives out there. Got mine for $15 but usually on sale in the $20~$25 range. Still a pretty good deal.

Really happy with the purchase.

Comment:
buy base on the review. great product and great service by ncix as always first time buy adata product happy with the purchase cant go wrong with that usb 3 flash drive ...

Comment:
Heard it was the fastest so I got one, didn't disappoint.

Comment:
All in all, quality drive, made of metal. Not as fast as packaging says, but still faster than USB 2.0

adata has blown me away with its cheap usb, this is quality/price value guys, grab it

Grabbed a pair of these when they were on sale for $15 for Black Friday 2012. Very happy at that price point, these are true USB 3.0 drives with the full rated speeds. Much faster speeds even on USB 2.0 (25MB/s write speeds). Unlike the budget Kingston USB 3.0 flash drives these actually hit USB 3.0 speeds around 87MB/s.Aesthetically the grey matte look is quite nice and doesn't stand out like some other garrishly coloured flash drives and I find it pleasant enough.Now for the nitpicks. The housing is plastic which is somewhat fragile (used to rubberized flash drives myself) and there isn't an area where a keychain or lanyard can attach to it; there is a small hole you can perhaps thread a thin string through and that's about it. This makes them less than ideal for giving to sales guys going to trade shows, they tend to break things easily (lots of pulling in and out of bags, plugging into multiple computers etc.), and lose things easily.

Wow. Didn't think ADATA was that good of a manufacturer. Definitely pleasantly surprised. Got sustained transfer speeds (write) of 58 MB /seconds. Tested by transfering a 7 GB file.Nice, would definitely pick one up at $23 if you need one.

i got this for dragging some larger mkv movie files for my media playeri can write to this from a ssd at close to 50MB/Si would like to have one without a removable cap but the price and performance for this drive just makes it one of the best bang for buck when on sale for $23

Comment:
Bought this on the boxing day sale and it works, its pretty fast when using usb3.

Comment:
Very fast drive. Meets or exceeds the advertised speeds in my experience. Has a nice grey metal body that is professional looking. Only concern is the plastic cap which comes off too easily. Would have been nice to see an indicator light as well.Still, minor issues. Overall outstanding product for the price. Would buy again.

Comment:
I purchased this to replace a 32GB USB 2.0 drive and it's a night and day difference. Transfers are fast and the drive works well.

Comment:
Just picked it up. Formatted to NTFS immediately and played around with a 5.7GB file. On SATA2, the speed would baseline around 31MB/s and on SATA3, it would baseline around 49 MB/s. This is crazy fast and sure beats picking up a "high-speed USB 2" flash drive. I used to use an external HDD to place my videos for watching on a media device but this flash drive will probably replace it as this is way faster. 5* rating on SATA2 speed, 4* rating on SATA3 speed.

Comment:
This drive is one to consider. Takes full advantage of USB 3.0 performance, looks nice, has a metal construction, and plenty of storage space.Build Quality: Not the best out there, but its metal body is more durable than the usual plastic.Performance: Does exactly as advertised. Overall I'm impressed and I've had no issues with speed drops or anything of the sort.Notes: Would of liked to have see the cap to be metal too, but maybe the constant metal on metal wouldn't work so well. Also would of like to have seen an indicator light to tell me the thing is working or at least on.

Comment:
fast and cheap, no problems whatsoever. couldnt be asking for anything more. if it broke or i lost it, id get the exact same.

Comment:
great stick for everyday use. beats any cheap usb stick from big box stores

Comment:
Very fast and since it was on sale, what a score. At 32GB of space as well, it's plenty big enough for a backup of all my really important stuff, or just to bring large files with me at my convenience.

This thing is fast. Almost gets the posted speeds (I got about 48 MB per sec write and 98 MB per sec read). Performs very well on USB 2.0 as well.It does lack an indicator light, but that's not a big deal. Just one of those "nice to have" things.My grief was that it's not 32GB, even by 1 billion bytes is a GB standards. Mine reads exactly 31,609,319,424 bytes, which is almost half a GB short of the advertised amount. That's a LOT to be off by, and hence why this only gets four stars from me.

Comment:
Surprisingly spacious given the high speed. It really does perform at 100Mbps / 50Mbps during testing. When using a USB2.0 port you get an even 25Mbps up/down.Sturdy case with a loop that you can put a thread through to attach it to your keys or lanyard. Unfortunately with one on it, the cap cannot attach to the end of the stick any more. Not a huge downside though; I just leave the cap sitting on my desk when the drive is in use. It DOES have an I/O light on the back.I have a linux partition hosted on the first 16GB of this stick and it runs quite quickly, none of the usual slowdowns associated with external boot drives. The remaining 16GB is more than enough for file transfers.

Comment:
Read a lot of reviews before making the purchase. Not sure why some were complaining about the stick running hot because mine only gets luke warm even after transferring 20GB or playing a 2hr movie.Overall, I'm very impressed with the speed (operates as advertised) and really like the slick aluminium casing. When in use, the cap is designed to fit onto the back so you don't lose it, however, that's also the spot where you can attach a strap (not included). So if you like having a strap attached (me), you have no place to safely put the cap. But being one of the most affordable USB3 32GB sticks around, I can definitely live with a minor design flaw.
