The performance of the top tier drives jumps from 1 or 2MB/s up to 9.5MB/s in the case of Corsair's Flash Voyager, 10.8MB/s for the Cruzer Titanium, 11.8MB/s for the Lexar drive and 12.2MB/s in the case of Kingston's DataTraveler Elite.

The majority of the drives, however, are stuck below 3MB/s, which is pretty dismal for write performance when you take into account that the Kingston Elite drive can write these files over 4 times faster.
