About Hardware V-GeN 2GB MicroSD
V-GeN 2GB MicroSD is a small-capacity memory card that is still widely found in older devices such as feature phones, MP3 players, or early generation digital cameras. Using the conventional MicroSD standard, this card has high compatibility with various devices, although its data transfer performance is relatively low when compared to the new generation microSDHC or microSDXC cards.
With a capacity of only 2GB, these cards are more suitable for storing lightweight files such as text documents, configuration files, or a limited number of songs. Currently, cards like this are mostly utilized for special needs such as bootloader recovery, light backups, or simply backup storage for legacy systems.
The test was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 with 12GB DDR4 Dual Channel RAM, running Windows 11 22H2 operating system, and using a VENTION USB 3.0 Card Reader with GL3224 controller connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port.
From the performance testing results, the card recorded read speeds of 18.25 MB/s and write speeds of 10.70 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. While in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the read speed reached 22.41 MB/s and write speed was 10.27 MB/s. These results reflect the typical performance of a low-capacity microSD, which is still sufficient for light use but clearly lags behind modern microSD cards.

About Hardware Verbatim STORE N GO 16GB
Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go 16GB is a practical and economical portable storage solution, designed to meet the basic needs of users in storing and moving data. With a capacity of 16GB, this flash drive offers enough space to store documents, photos, music, and light backup files, making it suitable for students, employees, and home users.
One of the main advantages of the Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go is its retractable design-the USB connector can be recessed into the body, eliminating the need for a physical cover (cap). This provides extra protection against dust and light impacts, and increases portability as there are no parts to lose. The body of the pendrive is made from lightweight plastic but is sturdy enough for everyday use.
Carrying a USB 2.0 interface, this flash drive is not intended for high speeds, but it is still very reliable for simple activities such as document copy-paste or use on older devices. In tests using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB dual channel RAM, and Windows 11 22H2 operating system, performance was recorded as follows:
- CrystalDiskMark:
- Read: 30.57 MB/s
- Write: 28.48 MB/s
- ATTO Disk Benchmark (64MB block):
- Read: 30.10 MB/s
- Write: 5.11 MB/s
From the benchmark results above, it can be seen that the sequential read and write speeds are still quite good for USB 2.0, but the low ATTO write speed indicates limitations when moving a large number of small files. This is reasonable considering the device uses a Phison PS2251 controller and KIOXIA TC58TFG8T22TA0D NAND chip, a common configuration in entry-class flash drives without DRAM cache.
Although not intended for high performance, the Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go 16GB remains an attractive option for users who want a small, inexpensive, and durable flash drive for basic purposes such as storing school documents, lightweight software, or music. Its compatibility with Windows and macOS operating systems further expands its versatility.
