It does seem to make a difference if the disks are full/empty.
theres my results on a sony 4gb that i got from ebay with 1gb free,
similar results to sinjinn, but my write speed is all over the place :confused: i presume the red is the write speed
even if its a fake there isnt much difference. im formatting mine in fat instead to see iof that makes a diference
Ok guys testing my Sandisk Ultra II 4GIG Pro..
Its a pain to remove all stuff off of stick just to test speeds if u guys realy want to see the test ill do it for yas but if not i just wont do it right now...
EDIT: This stick is not a fake one...
First test is with nearly full mem stick..(445mb free)

Second test waiting for responses...
Second test is with empty mem stick..(3898mb free)
I'm sure this is handy for people who are dumb enough to buy memory sticks off of places like E-bay but there's a simple solution; don't buy it from sites like this... buy it from a trusted company or store, ebay is full of scam artists, it's pretty much their home now... Remember people if it sounds too good to be true, 99.99% of the time it is.
Fascinating, my fake 4Gb Stick from ebay is much faster. And i'm sure it's fake, because it has no MagicGate Chip on it.
BTW, it's formatted with FAT16 not FAT32, which should give higher speed. I just format it using FAT32 and post the results:
edit: FAT16 and FAT32 give the same results
Fake Sandisk 4Gb FAT16
yeah i agree, if you dont mind shelling out £75 fot it... its not like we think ebay is the best place to buy this stuff from... it just so happens to be the cheapest (although alot of the time we know why...)Quote:

alright this is the same 4gb stick but this time in FAT16. seems faster . i am going to fill it up and do it again to check if it isnt just the amount of data on it thats speeded it up http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/7...0723588ek8.png
and this is the same stick almost full (450 mb free) http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3...0705059hl4.png
semms if you have a 4gb stick then FAT 16 is better than fat 32. the almost full memory stick outperformed the empty one though ????
from what i've seen so far all the 4gb sticks perform exactly the same . All we need to see is a a real 4gb stick . anyone have one of those ?
nice release !!! :) READ MY SIG
