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.
Device Test:
Device: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6
RAM: 12GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (8+4)
OS: Windows 11 22H2

About Hardware Kingston MicroSD 1GB
The Kingston MicroSD 1GB is a compact flash memory card designed for portable devices such as smartphones, cameras, and tablets. With a microSD form factor, it offers 1GB of storage capacity, ideal for basic file storage needs like documents, low-resolution photos, or music files. This card utilizes a standard SD interface, ensuring broad compatibility with devices that support microSD or SDHC formats.
Though it lacks the high-speed performance of modern UHS-I or UHS-II cards, its modest read/write speeds are sufficient for light data transfer tasks and basic multimedia usage. The card’s durability—resistant to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures—makes it a reliable choice for environments where physical durability is prioritized.
While its 1GB capacity is limited compared to current high-capacity microSD cards, this Kingston variant remains a cost-effective solution for users requiring affordable, portable storage for legacy devices or minimal data backup. It is particularly suitable for applications where large storage or high-speed access is not critical, offering a budget-friendly alternative to newer, higher-end flash storage options.
This hardware test uses a card reader from VENTION with a GL3224 controller model.
