Patriot Xporter XT Boost 16GB Flash Drive (USB 2.0 Portable)

Comment:
-Good rugged design and style-Outstanding construct good quality-Quick transfer ratesWhat else do you want? Bulkiness. But if you couldn't guess that from the image, you're not quite astute, now are you? If you want some thing that can take some abuse, you'll enjoy this. This is my third patriot Xporter - I have 1 32GB and two 16GB. I use the substantial one particular for toting around files to unique PCs, and the two smaller sized ones for loading up with MP3s to listen to in the car. So they see plenty of use, get tossed about, smacked by accident even though sticking out of the radio, etc.I haven't run into an situation with it not fitting in any USB ports on any PCs, the Xbox, or anything else. But it ought to be noted that it is on the big size due to the rubber casing.To me, the rugged style is a massive plus. I've had far also many less expensive-created flash drives snap off or crack from careless blunders and these things are rock strong. I won't obtain something else!

* Rapid* Sturdy * Rubber case too large for some applications I bought this as secondary storage for our new XBox 360. It functions wonderful for that, but as is, it does not fit in the USB slots on the back of the machine due to the thick rubber shell around the USB stick. Luckily, you can peel back the rubber shell (it's not glued on or anything) and get the stick to fit properly. If you're seeking for some thing in a compact application or exactly where you want it to match next to one more USB device, I would most likely appear for something else.

Fast, roomy, waterproofed, feels like it can withstand a lot of abuse, not as large as I thought it would. Bulky and wouldn't match in a USB port at the back of my computer with other USB devices. Reading critiques, I've gotten an impression that this drive comes with an extension cord which can resolve the dilemma of bulkiness. For some reason, my arrived without having one.

This flash drive is 1 of the best I've owned. Truly Quick when carrying out the reading element. I have the Google Chrome Portable edition, it boots up instantaneously. I'm working with my flash drive for fundamentally for school so I'll be able to hold several documents on this flash drive seeing it is 16GB. The write speeds are great. When moving two.45 GB worth of files, it only took 4 minutes. So it fundamentally keeps up with my Western Digital Caviar WD800 IDE Difficult Drive. If everyone is hunting for a rapidly, High in capacity and a low cost price, this flash drive won't disappoint you. Even though It will vary on each individual laptop or computer system to. A single plus is the rubberized case on this flash drive to. It will hold up for me particularly with a lifetime warranty. That is a very good score on my component. Also considerably faster then my Sandisk Cruiser Micro. Glad I scored a deal on this flash drive! :) Didn't come with a crucial ring. No biggie although, I had a few laying about the home. Men and women keep complaining about losing the cap, if you lose it try to bear in mind exactly where you put it. I've been keeping track of mine and haven't lost it but. I hope not to shed my entire flash drive at school like I did my old Sandisk which this Flash drive replaced due to that cause

It was seemingly extremely quick whilst it worked, loaded games, documents, and so forth. virtually immediately I bumped it while it was connected to my laptop's side and now it has key problems...

Not a well constructed or higher good quality device. Commit cash on a thing better that will final longer...

Rapidly, durable, reputable and only excellent. I am a roaming network administrator that supports 29 internet sites and having this drive with me makes factors much easier. I store tons of files on my Xporter and I have utilised this on hundreds of machines devoid of fail. I've had this for effectively more than a year and this issue has however to disappoint. None that I can assume of so far other than maybe the rubber casing could be a small thinner but it does safeguard the device from shock for certain. I may step up to a 32GB or 64GB later since files space more than time necessitate upgrades.

This is a actually nice flash drive that is pretty rapid at both read and create....considerably more rapidly than the Sandisk Cruzer flash drive that I had been making use of! I like the rubber cover, but wish there had been some way to safe the cover to the drive's most important situation. This is only a minor inconvenience, not sufficient to subtract an egg! I purchased this drive when Patriot presented a ŭ.00 rebate. I really feel that I was scammed on the rebate which in no way arrived. I sent the UPC from the bottom of the package as they needed, but for some reason they still denied my rebate...lesson learned...in no way purchase a product and count on acquiring the rebate. Subsequent time I will obtain based 1st on functionality, then on lowest value.....ignore rebate provides. They are time consuming and typically not forthcoming! Neglect ABOUT REBATES....They are just come-ons!

Rapidly drive. Was stolen. Buying an additional one.

I've had this for nicely over 8 months and it nonetheless performs flawlessly. I formatted it to show up as an ISO and installed my Win 7 along with a bunch of other applications so when I will need to a reformat is a breeze. Installing a fresh Win 7 Ultimate on a machine takes about 20 mins from start off to Desktop when it would take close to an hour on from a CD installation. Larger than most flash drives. It's really bulky for a laptop. Doesn't appear that much faster than my C****** 8gb flash drive either, and I would believe that for the added expenses I'd see considerable performance boosts more than other USB drives. At times hangs for ㅂ secs in Win 7 when transferring significant ƒgb+) files. Dialog box shows completely transferred but USB stick light flashes like it's nevertheless writing info. Bigger the file the longer the hang time. Maybe it's just my setup but I've used it on other computer systems and it does the similar thing.

I purchased this drive final year on Black Friday (from newegg - holla!). It was the finest factor I've ever carried out. How often do you check out a friend and want those photos, music, or movies and regret that you don't have your pc? I get compliments on this drive (due to it's capacity) all the time. So quite a few will say "wow 16gb, that's so handy and great". Yes my buddies. It is. The drive also comes with a lanyard, a thing that makes it less complicated to see in your bag (the lanyard is white). I just believed that was a classy touch to contain. I can fully see the rubber cap finding lost. I've nearly lost it a couple of instances. So far I'm holding sturdy, but I've read other evaluations that say you can email Patriot and they'll send you new ones. Seriously - I accidentally put it via the washing machine (no dryer). I let it dry for two days, plugged it in, and it works just fine. I did have the rubber cap on it for this incident thank goodness.

Great FlashDrive as far as Speed, Capacity, and *Protection goes.-Looks like it will kill an individual. *ProtectionSoon after a couple of weeks the cap comes loose. If you wear this about your neck you WILL lose the cap.You will be walking haphazardly one day throughout your forced compression of time when the drive will collide with your chest, causing the cap to quickly combust into the 11th dimension at some random point in time throughout your lackluster day. (for all I know that is what occurred to mine...)Very good luck acquiring it :D.--------------------------------------------------------------------------If you value your cap preserve it in your pocket. To the men and women that give Patriot memory a poor critique, due to the fact they acquire a defective item:Genuinely?.... Name me 1 personal computer hardware business that has one hundred% item yield. Two words: Lifetime Warranty.--------------------------Had this flash drive for more than a year.I'm nevertheless rocking 2 Gigs of DDR2 1200mhz Patriot Viper memory in this rig from 3-four years ago.Paired this with two 1 TBs of WD external HD goodness. (back-up redundancy)

OK if you don't care about speed in loading or privacy with a password. Cease working with it as it isn't fast loading and not password protected.

Comment:
Shockproof, virtually watertight, long data life even if not utilised and really sturdy construction it wasn't no cost. Ideal USB Thumbdrives on the market place, use them in my whole IT facility, because I convinced management to use them no 1 has had a single 1 go poor. Will use them as extended as they make em! :)

Comment:
Incredibly quick, and Shock proof functions amazing you dont have to worry about damaging the chip inside itself. Any usb caps can be a struggle to maintain up with if your messy and not organized try obtaining a usb with no a cap. I generally have to find my cap but I wouldnt trade this usb for anyother 16g. The flash drive was defective(typical difficulty with any item you cant often get a one that operates. Newegg was superb with the RMA totally free shipping to send it and back).

Comment:
Fast, excellent price (you get what you spend). Brief life, bad buyer service. Asked a replacement for the dead USB flash drive according to their "Life Time Warranty" and received... replacement caps... what a joke! A phone call to the quantity they offer was useless. Don't waste your cash and above all, your valuable data, time and energy.
