Comment:
Tiny drive, quite excellent transfer rates. Fantastic cost for the capacity. Annoying LED, silicone skin does not match so properly. Would acquire once more.

It's a excellent thumb drive. It fits on my crucial chain. So far it has held up better than other thumb drives I employed, which have a tendency to break soon after getting in my pocket just about every day. Qualitatively, I'm happy with the speed. I use it to store private files when employing my operate Pc.Amazingly, I've kept the cap as extended as I have. Becoming bright orange has helped me spot it a couple of times. Following a even though the rubber case and cap got a bit loose. Often the drive gets left in the port when I pull it out by my keyring. I'm going to attempt a drop of superglue in the case as suggested in an additional overview.

low cost, 8gb, modest the usb contacts aren't really fantastic. i ordered two of these recently and each had the similar concern where i would insert the stick, and the drive wouldn't show up (nor would the light turn on). if I wiggled the stick back and forth a bit in the socket for 30 seconds or so till i locate the optimal position, I could get it to light up and be recognized. this was the case on my residence desktop, laptop, and function desktop.

- Very small- Very good capacity- Nicely protected (thick rubber casing)- No compatibility difficulties (pretty typical of Patriot)- Full speak to enclosure (contacts aren't open like on other mini usb drives - Removable cap (cap is all rubber like physique, which I like)For my wants, I seriously won't ever require a cap, so this is hardly a con for me. I have a Samsung BD-C5500 blu-ray player and right after updates, I put this guy in the rear usb (labelled "Wireless LAN Adapter") due to the fact I'm not going to use a wireless adapter, and it recognized it as storage for BD Reside material with no issues, whatsoever. Slid the unit back in location, and the drive's tiny size brought on no concerns with space behind the unit. A perfect information storage remedy!

Quicker than my old Corsair drive, really smaller, and constructed in such a way that it will not flex. If you wanted the ultimate in smaller form element you could pull the rubber shell off and it would still be really serviceable. You could carry gigs and gigs of storage in a film canister. Works fine with my Asus laptop running Debian Linux. If you are worried about the shell coming off you pull it off and use a dab of glue to secure it. I'm acquiring yet another.

Tiny. Rapid enough for me. Good capacity. Cap can come off quickly in warmer climate. I don't use a wide array of USB drives, so I can't speak from any practical experience... but I've had this one for 11 months and it's performed flawlessly more than that time in 2x-3x weekly use. No beefs. Great to have any data I could want on my keychain without weighing me down.

It is tiny. Quite tiny. Bounces incredibly properly for a flash drive. Significant in some tasks.Also quite tough. Not the fastest transfer speeds in the world. Normally a fantastic decision for any individual who doesn't care about speed. That's in all probability about 98% of folks. Manufacturer Response:Dear llamaboy Thank you for buying Patriot Memory! The drive has a special plastic casing that tends to make it bouncy and absorb shocks to avert damage to the drive. Glad you like it.John SmithPatriot Memory Technical Help Teamhelp@patriotmem.com

8 gb will hold all the data I run about with.This held a enormous power point utilised at church(VBS), no difficulty. It wouldn't work until formatted on my Computer.

Size is best, Just bigger than two keyboard keys, orange color is amazing, and has a vibrant red led when writing.rubber case is wonderful, has a good really feel to it, and its Small7.45gb when formated fat32. the rubber casing is NOT glued to the flash drive! (not a massive deal just use a drop of super glue and your great to go)speed is just ok, absolutely not the fastestremovable (loose-in a position cap) get pretty hot whilst writing about 2gbs of data to it, properly, it got warmer than my old one. I Really like this Flash drive, for the price and size (both physical size and the compacity of it) it was WAY WORTH IT. The purpose i purchased this was since i wanted a small flash drive. I didn't seriously care how quickly it was, so having the slightly slower read/write speeds wasn't an concern.

Rapidly read/write speeds. Little size. Good price tag to storage size ratio. Performs with windows ReadyBoost. NONE I have had one for about a year and adore it so much that i just purchased 2 additional.I hate the caps that come with all usb drives. I removed the cap and threw it in a drawer appropriate away as i will only shed it anyways. It stays in my pocket alot of the time. I just pull it out and blow in the finish to eliminate any lint that could be there. I am presently working with it to install Windows 7 from and nevertheless have a small over 4GB left for files.

Great Item... Its small Size of a US Quarter , or so. Seem's rapidly. Bright LED "Red" :) None... I had to format it to NTFS, Useing HP USB Chip Format tool. so i can put my ISO image of 4.6gig file on it... My guess is because it was Fat 32, and Fat only let u put, up to 4gig huge file on it... Other than that... great product.Cnet.com "AKA" Download.com has the Tool, Its free of charge...

Bought Two, 1 for me and one for my wife. Both work good. Fast and seems great! Extremely smaller. I also have an old cruzer micro, and this is smaller than that. The rubber sleeve can come off of the usb drive, and the hole offered to place a keyring / lanyard on is only on the rubber sleeve, so it if tears or comes off.. could be straightforward to lose. Will likely use a tiny gorilla glue ;)

Comment:
Nice tiny drive. Tiny and incredibly tough. Great cost too. No troubles with Windows 7 recognizing it. I wouldn't contact it the fastest drive out there but it's not becoming advertised as it is either. Not really a con. Transferred a 700mb video file in two minutes 5 seconds even. Averaged 5.6mb's per second. In the details section on NewEgg it didn't list how fast it truly is so I can't genuinely say I'm disappointed in the speed of it.

Comment:
The rubber casing assists defend the device. The drive is smaller than most thumb drives I've seen. The drive doesn't include a essential ring. The hole exactly where the drive attaches to a key ring is not reinforced and looks like it will tear eventually. Manufacturer Response:Dear Anonymous The hole for the keyring on this drive is surprisingly durable taking into account there is no excessive abuse/pulling. Under regular use I have personally utilised it for 3 years with no problem.John SmithPatriot Memory Technical Helphelp@patriotmem.com

It's a lot of space for the price tag creating this a fantastic deal, regardless of the disappointing speed. Transfer in both directions is incredibly slow, and the rubber casing tends to make it a considerably larger drive than anticipated (both of which others have noted). I don't like having a loose cap to retain track of, but I purchased this effectively conscious of that.

Comment:
Tiny, value, durable, and pretty good read speed. Tested at 22 MB/s. I'm making use of this to hold my ESXi boot image, so the read speed is most critical. - I believed the write speed could be a small more quickly. It tested at about ten.two MB/s- Not a large deal, but I didn't receive the advertised color (black). The 1 I received was orange. It would have been good to have the black a single just so it wouldn't stand out as a lot subsequent to my ESXi server situation.

The USB drive is truly tiny and its overall read speed it pretty excellent. The drive is rubber and waterproof so it can't genuinely get wet. Yesterday, i washed it by accident but it functions. For the price, you can't actually get any superior. The rubber cap is truly slippery when your hands are wet and its tricky to take off. Also, the letters, x-mini and patriot are going to fall off soon. A different thing is that this issue didn't come with a cord. The write speed it irritating. I bought this to replace a 1 gb drive. This point is like 1ǘ as rapid. THe read is very good, but the write is slow. A 600 mb file took about five minutes, that's also slow for me. General, this flash drive is fairly fantastic. Sturdy.

Transfer rate is great adequate for me. Has a bring red LED transfer light, which I seriously liked. With out the cover, its smaller that my tip of my thumb. Genuinely fantastic price tag. The cap. I know it won't come off, but it feels like its going to. There is nothing truly holding it on apart from the metal and the silicon(?) cover/case. I wish it would of came with a pull chain ring to attach it to a keyring, but that is right here nor there. Truly wonderful flash drive for the price tag. 8 gigs for ฟ is an amazing get. It got delivered in about 3 days, which I thought was good. Ya gotta love the orange as well.

Comment:
tiny and quick orange plastic cover keeps coming off flash drive when you pull it out of a usb port, so the flash stays in the USB port. Manufacturer Response:Greetings!It appears that you might have gotten a module where the adhesive has come loose. Could I suggest contacting our assistance department to inquire about an RMA to replace the drive with one particular that has a greater set cover?If you do wish to procedure a claim, please do not hesitate to contact the assistance department: assistance@patriotmem.comThank you for selecting Patriot Memory!Daniel SorrentinoPatriot Memory Support

it does the job it's supposed to, shops data and isn't large so it doesn't get in the way. absolutely nothing truly.

Comment:
The value on this is still good. Capacity is very good and it's super-rapid. Rubber coating has protected it numerous times. It wasn't free. I now carry a bigger capacity drive and have this dedicated to ReadyBoost on my laptop.

Comment:
Small size, great orange casing. Immediately after about 5 weeks it quit operating. When I plug it in it just gets genuinely hot. I saw that Newegg has a 16BG flash drive for about Ű more. Perhaps you should just go with that one as an alternative. Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for selecting Patriot Memory.
