Outlook 365 Full Reset

I tried to set up Outlook 365 but I entered the wrong credentials. For some reason, which there is no point investigating further at this stage, I managed to crash Outlook 365. I was stuck with the forever loading splash screen of Outlook. There was no way for me to change the values from that loading interface. On top of that I believe the profile data file was corrupted, so there was no way to start Outlook at this stage. 

So, I had to reset Outlook 365 like it was the first time it was being used:

SanDisk 64 GB USB 3.0 Extreme - Speed Test

Recently purchased one of the SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 Flash Drives which claims to be x45 times faster than USB 2.0. Based on the company's specifications, this Extreme USB is capable of 245MB/s read speed and 190MB/s write speed. 

I wanted to test it over different systems in order to note the speed variations. 
So, this post is just to give out some figures to anyone who wants to have an idea about the performance of this flash drive.
