Customer Review: Sandisk Contour 16gb
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received my 16gb Sandisk Contour replacing my loaded 8gb Sandisk Cruzer. From experience using the 8gb Contour, I knew that it would be much larger than my Cruzer, somewhat unwieldy because of the ill-conceived retractable cap, and inconvenient because of the lack of an easily identifiable colorful lanyard. I needed speed however, and current reviews of earlier versions of the Contour and my previous experience indicated that this thing was fast. I could put up with the other shortcomings for a significant speed increase. Here are the results of my first tests.
Using Second Copy (simple copy) and my 8gb cruzer I copied 4.28gb of various small files (6,597 in all) both to each USB drive and from each to the hard drive.
Upload time -- Cruzer -- 26.5 minutes (2.69 mb/sec)
Upload time -- Contour - 22.0 minutes (3.24 mb/sec)
Download time -- Cruzer -- 5.5 minutes (13.0 mb/sec)
Download time -- Contour - 5.5 minutes (13.0 mb/sec)
I have no idea where I got the idea that the Contour was faster than the Cruzer but it was basically a dead heat.
To be fair, a backup (upload) of changed files (50 in all, size unknown) was done in 1.5 minutes using the Cruzer and 1.1 minutes using the Contour. Is the speed difference only noticable when synchronizing a small group of files?
If anyone can enlighten me, I would appreciate it.
