Mach Xtreme may not be the most popular name in the storage industry but they are behind some very decent products which have won quite a few awards from media around the world. Of course in the case of the MX-ES series of USB 3.0 flash drives although th...
Abstract: It's hard to believe that the fastest USB 3.0-rated thumb drives can outperform the hard drive in your desktop PC. On the other hand, the slowest models shouldn't even be allowed USB 3.0 branding. We test 31 different drives to determine the quickest. M...
SLC flash inside, Awesome average write-speeds of 130 MB/s, Excellent average read-speeds of 160 MB/s, Fairly compact drive, Aluminum housing, Activity LED, Available with up to 64 GB
Nowhere close to the advertised write speed, Cheap, simple OEM housing, Loophole for keychain is the weakest part of its housing, Blue LED with a red housing looks weird
The Mach Xtreme MX-ES drive may not look like much. In fact, it looks so simple that you may easily mistake it for a cheap drive from some unknown manufacturer, which is too bad since the drive really packs a punch because of its included SLC flash mem...
The MX-EX Flash Drive is a fun and easy to carry around storage unit. Where you need fast read performance, the stick will do it's job very nicely. Copying many MP3 files resulted at less then 13MB/sec, which we find to low for a USB 3.0 device. Once you...
Abstract: Over the last year and a half, we have seen many flash drives come through the lab. Of these many drives, very few of them are truly built to last forever. In fact, the way I see it, and I'm sure many of you do as well, flash drives are disposable storage...
When I was initially contacted by Mach Xtreme to have this sample sent over, we discussed the possibility that this drive may be the first SLC based flash drive we have tested. Since then I have looked back at all my previous articles and found that t...
High-Speed USB 3.0 read rates, Blisteringly fast USB 3.0 write rates, Long-lasting SLC NAND, Sleek exterior for maximum compatibility around USB ports, High visibility for the accident prone
Relatively high price per gigabyte, Tips, = Pair with an ASUS motherboard for even higher performance
The results of our testing of the Mach Xtreme MX-ES really speak for themselves. Both Read and Write rates of contiguous data each top out at over 150MB/s, with write speeds particularly impressive at 164MB/s in the Crystal Disk benchmark. Crucially, ...
5 year warranty, Stylish metal design, SLC NAND, USB3.0
Cost when marked against other 32GB USB3.0 drives for capacity, Not the fastest drive on the market,
PricingThe MX-ES retails for just over £40 (~$64 / ~€47), which for a drive of this capacity and performance, to me is a little over priced. Granted there is going to be a price hike for the use of SLC NAND instead of MLC, but the difference in price with...
