The ATP 4GB ToughDrive may look good, but it functions twice as good as it looks. Normally, manufacturers say you may reach speeds up to "X" amount, meaning hypothetically, it could reach these speeds if the conditions were right, but never actually coming close to that speed. The ATP ToughDrive is one of the few that can actually not only reach these speeds, but maintain them. Claiming 30 MB/sec, and averaging around 29.4 MB/sec, you really cant ask for much more.
