| GoldenMars 1GB GeeDom GU-P05 USB Flash Drive |
|
Once you peel off the well-designed packaging, it's obvious that GoldenMars is trying their best to minimize cost. You get nothing but the absolute basics - the GeeDom drive and a lanyard. If you are looking for what are truly quite unnecessary frills like a protective case or a USB extension cable, then you should look elsewhere. Performance-wise, the GeeDom is no slouch, especially in reads. Don't let the comparison fool you. When compared against high-performance drives from the likes of OCZ and Corsair, the GeeDom's read performance appears lacklustre. But it is really quite good read performance for a value-line drive. When it comes to write performance, it did well in the large files test, beating both the Corsair Flash Voyager and the OCZ Mini-Kart. However, its flash controller faltered in the small files test, forcing it to take almost 11X longer to finish the test. This is probably its only major performance issue. If you are looking for the fastest flash drive money can buy, then this is really not the drive for you. But if you are looking for a cute little flash drive that is well-made and performs reasonably well, you will want to take a look at the GoldenMars GeeDom GU-P05 flash drive.

Our Review System
Tech ARP is committed to developing new ways to improve your experience with us. As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a multi-tier review system.
This review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware or software. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision.
In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases.
When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review.
After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product.
But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online.
We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
