Fastest USB Flash Drive Benchmark Test 2024

Looking for the best and fastest USB flash drive in 2024? Dive into our detailed speed performance and benchmark test of USB3 memory sticks to find the answer. Transfer rates can vary significantly, and we've tested a range of options to help you make an informed decision.

In general, Verbatim, Intenso, and SanDisk tend to perform poorly, but the SanDisk Extreme PRO series is an exception. Transcend's 910, 920, and 930 series stand out in the middle field, while Samsung and AXE deliver excellent products, placing them in the upper range of tested memory sticks.

The test winner for the fastest USB stick until 2020 was the Corsair Flash Voyager GTX. However, in 2021, the Kingston DataTraveler Max 256GB took the lead as the first real USB 3.2 Gen 2 memory stick on the market. With a remarkable read speed of just under 1,000, it outshines all other sticks, providing the best sequential read and write speeds (note that a USB Type-C connector is required for this).

If you need more storage than 256GB, we recommend considering an external SSD.
