Guru3D and KitGuru have reviewed the ADATA S107 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive, which features 100 MB/s read and 25 MB/s write speeds.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Guru3D:

    "The ADATA S107USB Flash Drive is a fun and easy to carry around storage unit. Where you need fast read performance, the stick will do it's job very nicely. The write performance of the S107 disappointed us though. Copying many MP3 files resulted at less then 10MB/sec, which we find to low for a USB 3.0 device.

    When we fire off synthetic tests at the storage unit we see it max out at roughly 25 MB/sec if you give it the perfect conditions. Now for music and photo copying or PDF files that's all plenty, but if you need to transfer large sized files, the sequential write performance might hinder you.

    The flipside of the coin is read performance, it's pretty good really. We had no problem copying our files at 70-80 MB/sec from the USB stick towards the PC. Each and every test we performed confirms these findings."

  • KitGuru:

    "The ADATA S107 16GB USB 3.0 drive is a solid performer, delivering sequential performance speeds around 100 MB/s read and 25 MB/s write. While this is far from class leading, the price point is critical when basing a conclusion.

    The test results in this review are from a wide cross section of hardware, and if you have read it in detail, the 64GB Kingston DataTraveller HyperX clearly takes the top spot, by a huge margin. Everyone would want this drive for their system, but few would be willing to pay the £130 asking price. This ADATA S107 16GB by comparison will be priced under £25."

This is pretty decent USB 3.0 thumb drive. Obviously, it doesn't set any performance records but it is priced very reasonably.
