As with any other USB flash drive, all you have to do is plug the Super Talent Luxio into an empty USB port on your computer.

The drive comes with three files: a FAQ for the Luxio, a program called “SecureLock” and its user manual.

SecureLock can be used to enable an encrypted partition for the drive. You can also choose how much space to allocate, in addition to choosing the desired storage space for the partition.

For testing, both synthetic and “real-world” benchmarks will be employed to analyze the performance of the drive.

HD Tach

The HD Tach tests showed a burst speed of 28.3 MB/s, average read speed of 17.7 MB/s, and random access time of 7.3 ms.

HD Tune

In HD Tune, the average and burst transfer rates were 15.8 MB/s, and access time 1.0 ms.

ATTO Disk Benchmark

ATTO results show a similar trend, with read speeds maxing out at around 26 MB/s and write speeds around 19 MB/s.

DiskBench

Using DiskBench, I generated and used two files, one 100 MB and the other 500 MB, to measure copy and read speeds.

Read speeds were around 23 MB/s and write speeds at just under 16 MB/s.

SiSoft Sandra XII.SP2c

Read and write speeds are once again very similar to what we’ve seen so far.
