Since I’m going to use the Flash Drive only on a Mac, my favorite format for the Flash Drive is going to be Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive). MS-DOS was with 4.35 MByte/s close to the transfer speed winner, Mac OS Standard: 4.62 MByte/s. The UNIX file system performed worse when we looked at the transfer speed for larger files (2.45 MByte/s). However, writing the 203 smaller files took over a minute on the MS-DOS formatted drive, a task that was performed in less then 5 seconds on any other format. Not only does the Flash-Drive when formatted in MS-DOS FS provide the biggest storage capacity (960.5 MByte), the stored files also occupy the least amount of storage space (581.2 MByte). Kingston 1 GB Data-Traveler / Transfer-Write Speed with different Formatting OptionsĬonsidering Storage Efficiency, MS-DOS File System is the clear winner.
