Patriot Mini 8GB USB2.0 Flash Memory Drive Orange

Comment:
I was shopping for a little drive that i could keep on my keychain to have with me at all times. This is a great smaller size for that and superior built then other smaller drives. Slower then full size dual channel drives. If you want a tiny tough drive and can wait an additional minute during large file transfers, then this is ideal for you.

This flash drive has lasted me a lengthy time, it is incredibly smaller and has some fairly great read/write speeds. Did I say it was tiny? I know it lasted a year, but the great rubber casing that this has now slips off continuously, I've tried various sorts of glue to preserve it sticking but it wont stay attached producing it extremely frustrating to use. I would say about 6 months in the cap had the identical dilemma and started falling off till I eventually lost it. So as a whole the casing becomes a challenge the longer you have it. If your major concern is longterm durability, you might want to contemplate 1 of Patriot's larger thumb drives that don't have this casing. Manufacturer Response:Dear Ayrahvon I'm sorry for your concerns about your flash drive casing. That getting said, have you tried rubber cement? It's really durable and flexible. It must work perfectly!John SmithPatriot Memory Technical Support Teamsupport@patriotmem.com

It functions fantastic. It's quick. It's low cost. It's TINY. I didn't assume it would be so little. Already lost the rubber cap ;/. This is the first usb flash drive i have and i enjoy it. I employed to use my ipod to transfer stuff around :p. This blows it away in terms of speed. I'm actually happy with it.

Its a fantastic little flash drive by conventional standards; its fast, spacey, and extremely smaller. Alright they advertise repeatedly that it is 8GB of space. ...not true at all. I necessary a partition that was 7.5 GB and it has 7.46 GB of space; so it doesn't perform. I really wish that if they say "It's got 8 GB of space on board" that truly indicates what it says not, "well if you round up and then round up once more it's definitely 8GB." I'm not going to fully single this drive out for this, simply because they all do it, but it is truly irritating. Don't purchase this if you are going to require the full space they advertise... since you won't come across it.

Low cost. Functions perfectly. Small with protective rubberized covering. Some say it won't fit on a important ring, but not a challenge for me... I don't preserve mine on a crucial ring...:) None at all, nearly best! To be perfect, it would come with a lanyard.

Comment:
Small and the rubber cover is fantastic it doesn't slip out of your pocket. For the price you cant beet it. The information transfer is acceptable its not too slow. I use it just about every day and it hasn't failed but. Works properly with XP,Vista,Server2000񝐳. As with each drive you need to have to uncover the driver for something earlier than Windows 2000 and I still haven't found it but. Thank goodness I don't have to numerous accounts with that old of an operating method. Certainly a great product!

Comment:
very good transfer rate. very rugged. It has been through the washing two occasions and been dried two times and still works like the day i bought it. it is effortless to lose contemplating i have forgot it in my pocket much more times than i can don\'t forget. buy it

Spectacular flash drive. It is so modest, smaller than my thumb actually! It doesn't stick a mile out from my laptop, which is a mega plus, nice price for the quantity of storage, and it's made of rubber, so if you drop it, it won't break! Speed isn't negative either. Don't really like the orange all too a lot Chose to acquire this more than a 16gb drive mainly because of its size; most 16gb flash drives are usually massive. 8gb is suffice for me, so I'm glad I bought this.

Comment:
Price was correct, size was fantastic, extremely niice cushy rubber skin.Too negative it didn't function. I tried this in 4 diverse machines, 2 WIN 7, 1 Vista, 1 XP. None of the OS could effectively recognize or see the flash drive.Win 7 tried hardware trouble shoot, no aid. Patriot has usually been great to me, and reviews here are great on this item. I will RMA, and will acquire one more if required, I feel I was just unlucky to get 1 that did not perform.

Please don't hesitate to contact support@patriotmem.com for any technical questions you may well have and we'll gladly look into the concern. Thank You for picking Patriot Memory!

It is one of the smallest drives i have ever owned, and it is also one of the fastest believe it or not. I like the compact size and the orange case makes it effortless to see if dropped on the ground. At 8GB it is also huge adequate to carry just about all the info I want in any one location. It is also extremely durable simply because I have also put it by way of the washer and dryer about five times because Im forgetful The only negative factor about this drive is the orange rubber case. I don't know if Im definitely difficult on it but I have had two of these drives now and the rubber does not stick to the metal part of the drive and it can slide out. I don't preserve it on a key chain so I don't have to worry about it sliding out even though I pull out my keys. The case is not that a lot of a challenge that is why I don't think it is worth taking away an egg. Just a thing to take into account My third drive is on the way because I lost the initially one (completely my fault.) The second 1 is working fine but I want a different to make certain that I have a backup just in case

Bright color makes it effortless to see. being rubber it won't slide out of your pocket. Fastest flash drive I own by far. I have put this by way of wringer and nonetheless works like a charm. I purchased two last year... With the price almost 1ǘ of a yr ago I may possibly get some additional! rubber casing slides off simply- I superglued on. but the cap isn't connected to something- surprised I havent' lost it!

-8 gb space-does specifically what a flash drive really should and additional! (see other thoughts-can withstand water! -can be uncomplicated to lose due to the fact of modest size (see other thoughts) ok i just thought i would share this due to the fact i think this is an astounding feat for a flash drive and is worth noting. i recieved this drive a couple months back and loved the storage space it offered in spite of its rediculously little size. i utilised it for a couple months and have loved it a ton. then 1 day it flat out disappeared- i could not uncover it anywhere. about a month later i was emptying out my swimsuit pockets after tubing down the river in our town. to my total and utter surprise out came the flash drive. i went ahead and plugged it into my pc just for kicks and it came proper up with all my files nonetheless on it!!! now thats what i call a good flash drive!

Comment:
Price. Excellent. Physical Size.The drive is no nonsense. It worked when I plugged it in as expected. The size is awesome. Utilizing 1 in my car's head unit, nicely tucked away. The rubber padding material is really good, and the cap fits good and tight. Quite solid drive. NONE NONE

This has got to be one of the most amazing little gadgets ever. I know, flash drives are each and every day items now, but I bear in mind when 16MB of SDRAM was all the rage. Now we're talking 8GB of space in an location the size of my thumb NAIL....not my thumb, just the thumb nail. This factor is speedy, it's super portable to the point you will need to be confident which pocket you put it in. It's tiny with a rubberized body, so I can hardly picture anybody hurting this factor, unless you purposely step on it. None what so ever. This thing rocks! You can't beat a small tiny flash drive like this with 8GB of space. Ok, perhaps 16GB would, but for transferring large files between machines for the duration of my build (four machines) it produced factors super effortless. Specifically when some machines are not yet attached to and functioning as part of the network. An additional life saver is the truth you can fit an entire operating system on this drive, and use it for the install too! For some cause my disk went crazy, but I was able to save the day with this flash drive. If you create machines, you can not live with no one of these in your arsenal...Yes, it took me a lengthy time to break down and obtain 1 simply because an old floppy drive works fine, but what the heck was I thinking? I don't know how I ever did anything with no 1 of these before!

Comment:
I have had no complications with the drive. Transfers are rapidly, and it works perfectly on each laptop that I've tested it on. The drive has a bright activity light that absolutely illuminates the orange rubber enclosure. In dark rooms and/or on laptops the light can be distracting. This isn't significantly of a problem for me, but for extended use it may be a issue.

Smaller, great price, rubberized. None. Works as advertised.

The flash drive is 8GB and expense helpful. Its housed in metal and a silicone casing that puts up with just about anything. I went to the hardware shop and purchased one of those ball-and-clasp chain 'compact' keychains and I was able to get the chain by way of the opening in the silicone. It's been reliable, and recognized by all systems I've attached it to. It's not incredibly quick, even though it is compact, dependable, durable, and smaller. It's just not as quick as other flash drives. You almost certainly won't notice, unless you're attempting to transfer genuinely big files. Don't lose the silicone cap for the plug. The silicone cap is what keeps dirt in your pockets, and so on from getting lodged in the plug. It is a full-size plug, though with a complete, grounded casing so you won't have power problems when you plug it in.

smaller, water and shock resistant, massive capacity painted letters rub off, average speed if speed isn't important, this drive is fantastic. it is durable as anything-it's been in my pocket each and every day for the last 2 months and the only sign of wear is some of the paint has worn off. for the cost you can't get any superior!

These are great small memory sticks and you can put them on your important chain. Straightforward to plug into usb ports, in particular if 1 is more than the other. We have 3 of them for different makes use of (music, backup and transferring files for work or whatever. The rubber protective coating is straightforward to grip and lid is nice and tight - keeps dirt and pocket fuzzies out. The initially one we got had a ŭ.00 rebate and we sent in everything according to the paperwork and they sent us a letter back stating the bar code was incorrect and to send the right 1. There was only 1 bar code on the package and we had already discarded the rest of the packaging so not worth performing it unless you want to send the whole package back. That rebate might have expired by now, but beware of this and preserve track of your records. We preserve hearing of scams that do this sort of factor hoping you will acquire item for the rebate, and in no way fulfill it for some bogus reason. New Egg, great firm. Excellent product feedback and gives excellent insight on items. The Patriot 8gb memory drive is a fantastic memory stick, even at the regular cost. My wife's boss just bought some to use for function. They came in actually handy on a huge scanning project that had to be carried out on 3 distinct machines and had been able to contain significant pdf files and easily transfer data.

TinyHole for keychain8GB for cheap (thanks shellshocker!) Lose 1 egg: rubber casing not attached to drive, just going to superrglue it in location so i have no issues :) Terrific product, fantastic price. Just take the time to glue on the case so it doesn't slip out although you're walking!

Comment:
tiny, pretty, durable, fast transfers, lots of storage for low cost price, holds all your stuff.... lights up when transferring. none that i can believe of as of yet.. while the hole to put it on a crucial chain is kinda tiny. and it feels like if it had been on one for too long it may well break... :( but that stuff's minor. u should get it! i wish they let us pick colors. like i wanted the green 1, but didn't acquire it since it was only 2 gig. that's also the other con.

-Good size-Very good cost-No U-Launch software program -Won't work with Windows 'Ready-Enhance' This flash drive has quite a few issues to like. It's little but it's brightly colored so it's complicated to lose. The rubber covering makes it simple to grip which is a good touch when you're attempting to pull it our of a tight USB slot. For the size Ƙ GB) it was nicely priced. In my opinion, the finest portion was that it didn't have the U3 software program on it.The one negative for me is that I tried to use one of them to enhance the memory available to Windows 7 utilizing the Ready Increase feature. The method came back and stated that the Patriot drive didn't have the performance essential to use it for Ready Boost - no explanation why (typical Microsoft) just that it wouldn't function. Manufacturer Response:Dear Anonymous I'm sorry the drive isn't able to be implemented for ReadyBoost. We advertise particular goods we manufacture as working with ReadyBoost. I recommned seeking for the logo when shopping for your subsequent flash drive.John SmithPatriot Memory Technical Supportsupport@patriotmem.com

Remarkable value. This device must expense twice what it does.It is an 8GB drive that is smaller than most with half that memory. Rugged and durable. Perfect size to maintain on your key chain.Some folks dislike the fact that the rubber case comes off, but I like becoming able to effortlessly detach it from my important chain. If you don't like it put a drop of glue on it. None. It's a small slow but that's not a big dilemma in an everyday flash drive. I would want some thing quicker if I planned on employing it for massive applications, but I use it to shop documents, transport pictures and movies from 1 PC to an additional, and so on and it's plenty fast for that. You can move all 8GB in four or 5 mins on a quickly laptop or computer.

This little sucker is a good deal for 8GB at $15. It's super tiny too, so no worries about it taking up a lot of space in your pocket or wherever else you stick it. If it's STILL not small enough for you (ie you want to leave it plugged in all the time), you can always pull off the rubber part.A quick test in XBench revealed sequential write speeds of 10.6 MB/s, and read Speeds of 21 MB/s. For the price, I can't really complain about the performance.
