Does anyone have a a site that ranks USB Flash Drives for speed? I kept two 128GM thumb drives to do hourly and daily backups plus an external hard drive. I take the hourly backup thumb drive with me when I leave the house for fire and theft protection. I'd like to find out which one is "faster." They were nearly full so I bought a cheap 256GB drive but it is fairly slow (SanDisk Cruizer Glide 3.0 - up to 90 MB/s) and even shows the speed is at the low range of USB 3.0 Speed. I'd like to use this for my daily backup (10AM daily) and perhaps buy a more expensive drive for the hourly backups. So far, the "fastest" I've found is this amzn.to Up To 400MB/sec Read, 300MB/s Writ Assuming reading and writing to the SD drive limits my speed, not reading my C Drive on what was a very fast computer two years ago... Fast would allow me to backup my current work quickly before removing it to leave the house. Thanks
