I am looking around for a 64 gig usb thumb drive. I am wondering if there have been reviews including read / write access. In my research I have found, not shocking, lower priced drives with better pricing. I am looking for an online vendor that might list read / write as a sort able feature.

I have found some similar things... While I will always gladly go for a Kingston drive since they have always worked well for me - for (sometimes) less money I have been impressed with Team Group brand drives.

Newegg usually lists the read/write specs, but those are from the manufacturer. You should compare with 3rd party reviews for consistency.

For example - they have a 64GB Team Group drive with speed specs right in the listing by the picture...

$10 more for a slightly faster Kingston Drive...

New egg was one of the sites that did list the read/write speeds, as you point out, on some of the drives.

fyi: I contacted there support and they could not provide additional details. I am going to have to factor in price over speeds.

Need to place an order for a few dozen and speed is a factor.

Thanks for the helpful information.
