We put the 256 GB Hama 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 54 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 27 January 2021 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 |
125.74 MB/s |
8.54 s |
| Program typical program folder with many small files |
11.63 MB/s |
120.97 s |
| Game a game folder with small and large files |
15.27 MB/s |
90.43 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: 90 MB/s and 30 MB/s) the Hama USB flash drive is determined.

HD Tune writes a 1 GB file to the 256 GB Hama USB flash drive. The transfer data of the read speed is displayed graphically. The minimum, maximum and average values are also determined. The measured access time and burst rate are also shown.

Here, a 256 MB file is written to the 256 GB Hama 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 256 GB Hama 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).
