So since everyone is saying the cheap drives are just as good, I figured I would benchmark these drive since I got them from the last drop of them.

So what this test tells us is that the read speed of the drive is at 365 megabytes per second and a write speed of 217 megabytes per second. To compare this to the Samsung Ultra Fit models I found this review on them https://hddmag.com/sandisk-ultra-fit-review/ and they got an average read speed of 111 MB/s and write speed of 39 MB/s. So no, you can't just buy a cheap flash drive and think that since they're both USB 3.0/3.1 and they are all the same. Please remember that an interface (ie USB 3.0) only tells you what the theorectical max bandwidth is. The controller inside is what controls the actual speed. If a flash product does not specifically tell you want the read/write speed are, you can assume the controller is garbage.
