#HOW TO TEST SPEED OF USB FLASH DRIVE MAC MP4#
Keep in mind that small files take longer to copy so the average speed will be lower than copying mp3 or mp4 files. If, on the other hand, you want to do a test with something bigger, like video files, 300 to 500Mb should be just fine. If you choose a bunch of small files (less than 1Mb each), 150Mb is a good starting point. Me, I just want to do a test with some mp3 files, so around 300Mb of them should be enough. Otherwise, stick around and check the suggestions I have for you.įirstly, you'll have to decide what kind of test you want to do so you can choose the right files to test with. If you prefer to download an app to do that for you, you can just skip to the next section right away. If you're like me and prefer real-world tests, you're in the right place. While that can seem a little bit tedious, in my opinion, it still is the most reliable way of keeping a score.

There are a couple of ways you can test your flash drive read and write speed: So, I've decided to put all my flash drives and MicroSD cards to a speed test. Then I thought: If I knew what my fastest USB thumb drive was, I'd probably still had the time to copy all the files I wanted. Unfortunately, when I remembered I had some new songs I'd want to take with me, it was already time to leave. The other day I was planning a car trip that I knew it would take a little longer than usual. One thing that I love the most is to drive while listening to my favorite tunes.
