About Hardware SanDisk Cruzer Blade 32GB
The SanDisk Cruzer Blade 32GB is a USB 2.0-interface flash drive known for its compact, lightweight and portable design. With a capacity of 32GB, this flash drive is enough to store a moderate amount of documents, music files, photo collections, and standard resolution videos.
Despite using the USB 2.0 interface which has a lower transfer speed than USB 3.0 or later, the Cruzer Blade remains one of the most widely used products due to its reliability, wide compatibility, and affordable price.
The test was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 device with 12GB DDR4 dual channel RAM and Windows 11 22H2 operating system, and connectivity via USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. Although the port used supports high speeds, performance is still limited by the capabilities of flash drives that use USB 2.0 technology.
In performance testing using several benchmark applications, the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 32GB recorded speeds that are in line with USB 2.0 characteristics. According to CrystalDiskMark, the flash drive recorded a read speed of 26.99 MB/s and a write speed of 20.71 MB/s. Meanwhile, testing using ATTO Disk Benchmark with a 64MB block size showed a read speed of 25.10 MB/s and write speed of 10.65 MB/s. These results confirm that this flash drive is more suitable for light storage needs, such as documents or small multimedia files, rather than fast transfer of large files.
Overall, the SanDisk Cruzer Blade 32GB is a simple yet effective storage solution for daily file transfer needs, especially for users who don't require high speeds, but instead prioritize practicality and economical pricing.

About Hardware Sony Vaio 4GB / SMI USB DISK
The Sony Vaio 4GB/SMI USB DISK is a small capacity 4GB flash drive, which is more commonly found in older devices or used for basic purposes such as storing small document files or important file systems. Despite the “Sony Vaio” name, this flash drive actually falls into the unbranded or OEM universal drive category, as there is no official manufacturer that clearly identifies this product.
This flash drive is known as a native capacity fake USB, which means that while it may physically resemble a large capacity, it actually only has 4GB of usable storage space. With such a significant capacity limitation compared to today's standards, this flash drive still has a role to play in specialized applications, such as a lightweight operating system installation media, recovery tool, or as a configuration file store.
Tests were conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 device, 12GB DDR4 Dual Channel RAM, Windows 11 22H2 operating system, and a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. Based on tests with CrystalDiskMark, this flash drive recorded a read speed of 24.74 MB/s and a write speed of 9.42 MB/s, which is low but sufficient for basic use that does not require large amounts of data transfer.
