About Hardware SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB
The SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB is a smaller capacity variant of the Cruzer Blade series that relies on a USB 2.0 interface. This flash drive is suitable for storing document files, installers, or as temporary backup media at a relatively affordable price. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry around, although the data transfer speed is lower than USB 3.0-based flash drives.
The test was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 device, with 12GB DDR4 RAM (dual channel), Windows 11 22H2 operating system, and connection via USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. Based on benchmark results using CrystalDiskMark, the drive recorded read speeds of 24.94 MB/s and write speeds of 16.33 MB/s. While in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the read speed reached 26.98 MB/s and write 4.21 MB/s. Despite its limited performance, its capacity and portability are still quite useful for basic needs.
Device Test:
Device: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6
RAM: 12GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (8+4)
OS: Windows 11 22H2
USB: USB 3.1 Gen 1

About Hardware V-GeN 2GB MicroSD
V-GeN 2GB MicroSD is a small-capacity memory card that is still widely found in older devices such as feature phones, MP3 players, or early generation digital cameras. Using the conventional MicroSD standard, this card has high compatibility with various devices, although its data transfer performance is relatively low when compared to the new generation microSDHC or microSDXC cards.
With a capacity of only 2GB, these cards are more suitable for storing lightweight files such as text documents, configuration files, or a limited number of songs. Currently, cards like this are mostly utilized for special needs such as bootloader recovery, light backups, or simply backup storage for legacy systems.
The test was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 with 12GB DDR4 Dual Channel RAM, running Windows 11 22H2 operating system, and using a VENTION USB 3.0 Card Reader with GL3224 controller connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port.
From the performance testing results, the card recorded read speeds of 18.25 MB/s and write speeds of 10.70 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. While in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the read speed reached 22.41 MB/s and write speed was 10.27 MB/s. These results reflect the typical performance of a low-capacity microSD, which is still sufficient for light use but clearly lags behind modern microSD cards.
