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 TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP
The TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP is a 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) with a storage capacity of 640GB, designed specifically for small laptops, notebooks and external enclosures. It uses a 3Gbps SATA interface and operates at a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, providing a balance between power efficiency and stable performance for daily computing needs such as document storage, media, and light application use.
With 8MB of cache support, the TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP is able to provide quite good data response for the conventional HDD class. While not as fast as a solid-state drive (SSD), it is still an economical and reliable storage solution, especially for users who prioritize large capacity in a compact form factor. It can be used as a primary or secondary drive for data backup, media collection storage, and general productivity needs.
Based on the test results on the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i device using the Orico USB 3.0 enclosure, the drive recorded read speeds of 90.15 MB/s and write speeds of 90.76 MB/s in the CrystalDiskMark test. Meanwhile, in the ATTO Disk Benchmark (64MB data block), it recorded read speeds of 70.20 MB/s and write speeds of 88.28 MB/s. These results show that the TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP is capable of delivering consistent data transfer performance, making it an ideal choice for users who need a large-capacity storage solution at an affordable price.
With Toshiba brand quality and long-term reliability, the MK6459GSXP remains relevant as a 2.5-inch HDD storage option that is power-efficient, robust, and compatible with a wide range of modern and legacy devices.
