PSXReality Memory Stick Tester v1.0

[Emeriastone]

Alright, I formatted both and tried again.

Here's a comparison,
1GB Sandisk -- Full stick vs. Empty stick.

FULL


EMPTY

The 2nd Comparison,
2GB Sony High Speed -- Full stick vs. Empty stick.

FULL

EMPTY


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 i presume the red is the write speed

[sinjinn]

even if its a fake there isnt much difference. im formatting mine in fat instead to see iof that makes a diference

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...)
anyway, not everyone on ebay is a scam artist, some people genuinely import memory sticks and undercut the prices of these trusted companies or stores, hence why people dumb enough (like myself) choose to buy there instead

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

[sinjinn]

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 ?
