Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review

The Test System

Before we look at the numbers, here is a brief glance at the test
system that was used. All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows
7 Ultimate 64-bit. All benchmarks were completed on the desktop with
no other software programs running. The Intel Core i7 test system was
run in triple-channel memory mode at 1600MHz with 8-8-8-24 memory
timings. The ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard was run using all the
latest drives and BIOS 0702. The ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard uses
the Intel ICH10R south bridge chipset, which we used to run our ‘boot
drive’. The boot drive used in our test system was an Intel X25-V 40GB
model with TRIM enabled. The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 64GB Flash Drive was tested
in a fresh out of the box (FOB) state when testing was done.

We used NEC
USB 3.0 driver version 1.0.19.0 on the test system.
