HD Tune 3.0
The SuperTalent SuperCrypt performed the HD Tune read test extremely well. The speeds were at a constant 188 MB/s with a 0.2 second access time. While this test reports slower results than Windows Explorer, it does show consistency of read speeds across the drives which is a plus. In the write sector on the other hand, there are multiple spikes in speeds. As show in the picture above, the minimum write speed of the drive dipped to approximately 15 MB/s while the average hovered around 74 MB/s.
In the search to find the reasons behind the inconsistencies I continued with the file benchmark test. As you can see in the picture on the bottom, the drive performs extremely well with the maximum drive speeds being attained as soon as 64 KB segments were tested. Similarly the write speeds also leveled out near the 64 KB segment mark. The results of this test indicate that the drive would exhibit its maximum performance with file segments larger than 64 KB.

TeraCopy
TeraCopy is a 3rd party software meant to increase copy speeds and reduce the time for files to copy. As you can see from the images below while copying the same files as in the previous examples, TeraCopy managed to copy a 2.85 GB (3 files) in 34.379 seconds average of 82.9MB/s. The 4.21 GB containing 7052 files were copied in 107.137 seconds at an average rate of 39.3 MB/s. The drive performed extremely well while presented with a magnitude of files that were medium sized. The files were transferred form the desktop to the flash drive.

CrystalDiskMark 3.0
CrystalDiskMark tests consist of the taking the read and write rates across a specified size portion of the hard drive. For our tests I have selected to use 1000 MB and 4000 MB sample sizes. The tests results looked very encouraging despite the fact that the SuperCrypt did not hit the magic 240 MB/s mark. Even at smaller 4K random writes the SuperCrypt performed better or on par with value SSDs.
