Is there a way to easily test flash drives for speed on a Windows 10 computer? Also, is there a site that ranks them? I keep 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 are 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 backups 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 Thanks
