This is a USB device, so unlike an SD or micro SD card, it reads and writes at the 2.0 USB speed. It's quite efficient to handle all of your files that you wish to store in an expedient manner. Flash drives, to my knowledge, do not have Class ratings.

USB drives do not get classified as SD cards do. This is a USB 2.0 device so read/write speeds vary based on your hardware and USB controllers in your system.

This is USB 3.0 (2.0) compatible...Excellent performance for USB but if your looking for Firewire performance keep looking....

I've only seen Class designations on memory cards, not flash drives.

While there is no marking about class/speed, the info on the packaging does indicate it is compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 (the info in the original sales offer only indicated USB 2.0 compatibility). This does not answer your question, but hope it helps anyway.

I think the class rating only applies to flash card for cameras, not USB flash drives. That's were the class rating is important, to record video and high grade pictures on DLSRs.

USB drives are not classified like SD & Compact cards are.
Transfer rates are listed on Sandick.com website. USB 3.0 offer
up to 10x the speed over USB 2.0

Jam1 · Answer

USB flash drives aren't usually classed by the manufacturers (that's really used for memory cards almost exclusively). USB 2.0 vs 3.0 is pretty much all you get on speed ratings on these.

This isn't close to a Class 10 drive. That's the main reason it's so inexpensive.
