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.

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 KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL

The KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL is an 8GB eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) storage module designed for use in small electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes (STBs), IoT devices, and other embedded systems. Featuring the latest 3D NAND flash technology from KIOXIA (formerly Toshiba Memory), it offers a blend of performance, power efficiency, and long-term reliability.

As part of the eMMC 5.1 standard, the KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL delivers improved read and write speeds over previous generations, while maintaining low power consumption. The module combines NAND flash and controller in a single package, simplifying integration in embedded systems and shortening product development time for manufacturers. With a compact and power-efficient design, this storage is perfect for devices that require a small footprint and high durability, without sacrificing performance stability.

In tests conducted on the FiberHome HG680P device (IndiHome STB) which uses an Amlogic S905X SoC, Mali-450 MP GPU, and 2GB of RAM, the KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL showed a pretty solid performance for the eMMC 5.1 category. Based on the PassMark Performance Test (Disks) benchmark, the read speed reached 55.9 MB/s, while the write speed recorded 22.8 MB/s. In the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile), the read speed stood at 37.65 MB/s and write 20.44 MB/s. These results reflect the eMMC's capability to run basic applications, video streaming, system boot, and other light tasks consistently.

Overall, the KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL is an economical yet reliable embedded storage solution, ideal for entry-level to mid-range devices that require well-performing, efficient, and stable internal storage. Backed by KIOXIA's big name in NAND flash and memory technology, this eMMC is a great choice for embedded system projects and low-power consumer devices that require efficiency without sacrificing quality.
