After running CrystalDiskMark, I put the T1 SSD through the same benchmarks we used to test USB flash drives, dumping a 32GB folder of 20 video files onto and off the drive and then a 15GB folder of 10,000 images. With the large files, the T1 SSD managed 352 MB/s reads and 307 MB/s writes. With the small files, it scored a predictably slower (but still good) 220 MB/s read, 227 MB/s write. That write speed is far faster than any of the flash drives we tested, likely thanks to Samsung’s controller and UASP support.
Speaking of UASP, you may need a BIOS or driver update to take full advantage of the T1’s speed over USB. Before installing ASUS’s USB software, I was only seeing write speeds of around 80 MB/s. Getting UASP support working made a massive difference in write speeds, making the T1 a great, fast drive for moving around bulk files.[/QUOE]
You buy it already?
