The Review
The Digiocean 64gb flash drive just ships in a little padded envelope, which is fine. The drive is small at only about 2.25 inches long and about .75 inches wide and just barely .25 inches thick. The drive has a clear cap on it and a small loop on the tail end where you could attach a lanyard. The drive has a metal housing which makes it durable and rugged for sure.
This flash drive does have a red LED in the tail cap that lights up red when plugged in and blinks when there’s activity like transferring files.
The Digiocean drive is a USB 2.0 flash drive and I’ve got another 64gb USB 2.0 flash drive from Kingston called the DataTraveler 150 which is what I’m using for comparison. The size difference is amazing, the Kingston drive is several years old and it was one of the first 64gb drives on the market and it’s just a huge size difference between then and now in terms of technology for storage.
For testing I ran Atto Disk Benchmark on both drives for comparison.
Digiocean:
Read: 31842
Write: 24672
Kingston:
Read: 32458
Write: 21806
As far as speeds, the Digiocean is faster at writing but slower at reading, but they’re still close overall.
Conclusion
The Digiocean drive is priced at about $18 which I guess is fine for a 64gb capacity flash drive, but it would be nice if it was USB 3.0 instead of 2.0 as it would be much faster.
+Well made
+Decent speeds overall
+Small and portable
Cons:
-USB 2.0
