Contestants:
- PNY Turbo 128GB – $39.00
- SanDisk CZ80 32GB – $21.85
- Patriot Supersonic Rage 32GB – $15.99
- Patriot Supersonic Boost 32GB – $15.99
- Kingston DataTraveler DTR30 G2 32GB – $15.95
- PNY Attache 32GB – $10.99
- PNY Turbo 32GB – $9.99
- ADATA DashDrive Yellow 32GB – $9.99

- SanDisk CZ80 16GB – $15.99
- ADATA S102 Pro 16GB – $8.99
- Patriot Supersonic Boost 8GB – $9.99
For the results we divided the drives into categories. The reason these are broken up is that 8GB memory is addressed differently than 16GB and 32GB memory which results in a substantial difference in performance.
