The speed said on its datasheet.
- Read 100M/sec
- Write 10M/sec
The average speed is about 10M/sec when I copy a file to the flash drive. The file size is 441MB. It took me 44 seconds to complete the copy.
So I believe the write speed match what is on the datasheet. When I copy the same file from the flash drive to the 1 TB hard drive, the speed is about 40MB/sec.
