USB Flash drives are really useful, when it comes to sharing the files in the quickest way or for keeping the important documents handy all the time. iBall has launched 4 GB cutility series of USB Flash drives and Shivaranjan has reviewed the USB drive and found it extremely good. He has provided the screen shots of the USB drive (the one on the left is not the actual iBall drive but an image by Billy. Thanks for the image!) and various other specs of the drive. Here are some of the points which Shivaranjan has pointed :
PROS of the USB Flash Drive :
| Benchmark Parameter | Value |
| Transfer Rate | 14.7 MB/s |
| Access Time | 0.7 ms |
| Write Speed | 7.5 MB/s |
| Burst Rate | 14.7 MB/ |
Which are almost exact as claimed by iBall. The drive comes with hand strap and storage case to keep it safe and the price is also right for a 4 Gb Flash drive.
CONS of the USB Flash Drive :
Shivaranjan found out that the drive was good, however its build quality was not up to the mark and thinks that it could have been better.
Overall rating & views :
Shivaranjan suggests that if you can take care of things then this drive is good enough for every day to day use.
TIPS : If you buy a USB Flash drive, then don’t forget to install U3 smart drive application on that and in case you are thinking of using it as RAM for your computer, then please read the following article.
