TwinMOS Mobile Disk R3 1GB

The case is made of white nacreous plastic with a blue piece on the butt-end. The cap on the USB connector is non-detachable – you just turn it by 180 degrees to plug the drive into the USB port. The drive supports USB 2.0. Its dimensions are 57x18x7mm

You get a Quick Start guide with this drive.

Its average retail price if $31.

Testbed and Methods

We used the following test programs:

• FC-Test version 1.0
• FC-Test version 2.0
• IOMeter version 2003.02.15

The testbed was configured like follows:

• Albatron PX865PE Pro mainboard
• Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz CPU
• IBM DTLA-307015 15GB hard disk drive
• Radeon 7000 32MB graphics card
• 256MB DDR SDRAM
• Microsoft Windows XP SP2

We will use two versions of FC-Test as we did in our previous flash drives roundup. The newer version employs a slightly changed test algorithm that ensures more stable and accurate results. So, you can compare the drives with those that we reviewed in old and recent articles published on our site.
