We put the 512 GB fanxiang USB flash drive through a detailed test. You can find the test result / test report here:
The standard test was performed with a 1 GB file. A total score of 1305 points was achieved.
A common everyday scenario is simulated here. Three test folders are created:
The three folders are copied using the Windows copy command (cache remains enabled). The real-world test from 24 February 2026 shows performance during simultaneous write and read operations. The lower the duration, the better.
| AS SSD Copy Benchmark | Transfer rate: | Duration: |
|---|---|---|
| ISO two large files |
873.02 MB/s |
1.23 s |
| Program typical program folder with many small files |
209.85 MB/s |
6.70 s |
| Game a game folder with small and large files |
548.09 MB/s |
2.52 s |
Here, speed is measured depending on how compressible the data is.
Similar to AS SSD, two sequential and two random performance tests are carried out here and the write and read speed (manufacturer: 2050 MB/s and 1800 MB/s) the fanxiang USB flash drive is determined.

A long-term test was performed to fully utilize the storage. You can see from when a possible cache is full and write performance drops. A test file of 100 GB was written to the medium. After approx. 8 GB, the cache was full and performance was throttled.
The test file could at least be read with an average read speed of 1,534 MB/s and written at 1,113 MB/s.
Here, a 256 MB file is written to the 512 GB fanxiang USB flash drive multiple times. The I/O block size varies (from 512 bytes to 64 megabytes). The larger the blocks, the faster writing and reading usually becomes.

Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the 512 GB fanxiang USB flash drive here. The transfer data is displayed. The more consistent the line, the better. Unfortunately, the tool no longer works correctly from around 4,000 MB/s and no line is displayed (and sometimes incorrect min/max data is shown).
