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.
