My slow laptop hard drive

I have this thing called Toshiba mk6034GAX inside my laptop. And it is damn slow hard drive. Last week I got two new USB flash drivers and I wanted to compare how well they compete against my Toshiba.

I ran CrystalDiskMark and it seems basic USB flash drives can beat my Toshiba on some tests. Toshiba is still much faster on sequential writes and on 512KB writes but specially on 4KB reads Toshiba gets beaten.

I would like to test out those new Kingston USB flash drives to see if they are really faster.
