Tom's Hardware Guide Mass Storage: Pocket Rocket Claims The Gadget Crown - Pocket Rocket Challenges Hard Drive Storage
What they are offering sounds attractive indeed. The Pocket Rocket is available in capacities of 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB and is based on SLC (Single Layer Cell) Flash memory. In contrast to conventional MLC devices, the SLCs are more expensive, but clearly faster: 18 MB/s or 180X Flash speed is what Memina claims on the company website. Can they really deliver on these promises? We put the Pocket Rocket to the test to find out.
Usually we are quite skeptical whenever a hardware manufacturer starts promoting exceptionally high benchmark numbers. Here, however, Memina has truly put together a memory stick that is far superior to most other Flash memory sticks out there. Thanks to Single Layer Cell NAND Flash memory, we can confirm read transfer speeds of up to 18 MB/s and write rates of around 15 MB/s.
