what is the actual speed of the 240 GB model is it less than the 500 GB model please answer me ASAP? transcend table for 520 under 240gb speed !!

I bought the 480GB and the speeds are pretty awesome read about 6GB (SSD) and the 250 (originally built in) over USB 3.0 about 3GB/S Hope this helps

Hello Jeffrey,My husband is doing tests today on his Transcend (which he LOVES!)....so he can answer your question better. I will post again later, (maybe tonight), when he finishes his tests to answer your specific question:-)

A quick Google search shows that the STAE121 is the older model and potentially discontinued. I'm sure they upgraded the SATA or Thunderbolt controller, as they look the same on the outside. Having the STAE128 (Backup Plus, not GoFlex) I can tell you that it is blazing fast for an external adapter/enclosure and it's only $10 more than the older model. I tested my Crucial M500 240GB (with about 20GB of data on the drive) with Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, and got somewhere around 300MB/s sequential reads and 200MB/s sequential writes. It's perfectly adequate, more than adequate, for a boot drive. It can't match up to my 512GB internal PCI-E SSD (Late-2013 rMBP, around 700MB/s reads and 650MB/s writes) but it's still super fast. I'm running the OS X Yosemite Dev Preview 3 on it right now and it's as fast as you'd expect it to be. TL;DR: STAE121 is the older, discontinued model. Get the STAE128 for $10 more. It's definitely faster and more reliable than USB3 and performs admirably as a secondary boot drive.

Strangely, I've noticed no difference in transfer speeds between them. To me that means that the smaller buffer isn't the weakest link in the transfer.They also removed the blue circular status light from the front of the drive and now it lights up by the USB port.Both 5200 RPM as far as I know. I think the Elite has the slightly faster drives and more buffer size.

If you are going to get a 2.5 drive, go with the 6.0mbps transfer rate!! or you will not get the full functionallity that comes with having the solid state portion of the drive. It requires you to be able to set the drive up as ACHI in the BIOS, or else it will just function like any other 3.0mbps hard drive. I have 3 Seagate 500 Hybrids in a raid with each drive partitioned in half. giving me a theoretical 6 drives at 250 gb per drive. I like having my games on their own partitions, for faster read times, and my startups are under 2 mins.

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

The 128GB is slower than the 256GB+ due to the way the controllers store the data. Basically the controllers write to multiple memory modules simultaneously and the 128GB model has fewer of them so it is somewhat slower. the Samsung Evo is probably a better bet if you are looking at the 128GB model as it is only a little more expensive and much faster (though still not quite as fast as the 256gb Pro).

Dear Mr. Harris thanQ for your enquiry and the Thoshiba 128GB Q series Pro was replaced in my above mention laptop perfectely and working well. This new SSD Drive is running more speed than my old 500 GB mechanical drive after cloning on Windows 7 OS. Now I am using my old drive as external drive for the same laptop pc.

The 640gb is supposed to be faster than the 750gb model, and from what I've seen it gets a higher percentage of 5-star reviews. Therefore it's probably a bigger selling drive, higher demand drives the price higher, it's just basic economics.

I am using a "Transcend" 32G, "Class 6" with no problems so far. I have tried both the 3 minute loop and 5 minute loop modes and BOTH modes work well. I have NO loss of recorded data between 3 minute loops or 5 minute loops. I leave mine on the 5 minute loop mode and so far, in the 4 weeks of use since I got the camera and "Transcend" card, no problems.

that is generally depicted by the quality of the flash device you are using. i have used a patriot usb that shows no serious speed improvement over usb2.0, and i have a Kingston that is faster than any usb flash ive seen. this card has been stable, reliable, and quite fast during my usage. (use at work in IT environment daily)

I bought an 8GB HCSD, because I wanted to have more space. Manufacturer claims is a class 6 card, which is supposedly the fastest (or one of the faster cards). Using it, I found: 1. The RAW shooting, would take about the same time that took my 2G MicroSD with adapter, that is, if you're planning about taking bursts of pictures RAW, that won't do the trick. 2. I found the bigger size of videos is 2GB, and that appears to be limited by the filesystem of the cards it self. That's around 23 minutes in the highest quality mode.

From: PC: Intel Core2 CPU 6600 @ 2.4GHz (Windows 7, 64-bit) Port: USB 2.0 Card Reader/Writer: Kingston's MobileLite G3 To: SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 gb And an IMG file (2,478,505,984 bytes) I can reach 27 mb/second Note 1: maybe with a USB 3.0 port you can reach a best speed. Note 2: maybe without an adapter you can reach a best speed.

I would trust the website over amazon. I have the 33gig version and it seems to be operating at a reasonable speed. Amazon is more prone to errors then the company website in my opinion.It is a great flash drive I highly recommend it.

Yes, it's a Transcend 16GB Class 10, up to 20MB/s. I just received it today.

I would imagine the 32 gig model is faster since it would have more flash chips on it. trust corsairs site over all other references which aren't highly trustworthy review sites.
