Corsair Flash Padlock 2 8GB USB Flash Drive Review

Testing
To test the drive we will be using HDTune and Sandra’s removable storage benchmark on a new system that has a Core i5-750 processor and 4GB of memory. For comparison we will be testing the Padlock 2 against the Kingston Data Traveler mini10 flash drive, which also is an 8GB drive.
