-usual: speed, durability, compatibility, capacity...---*AND* IF U *CALL* THEM about "problem" rebates (and *do* have copies of everything, great & neatly/professionally performed!), being polite but persistent has *always* fixed the possibly Ƨ* "denied" ones out of the a number of DOZENS of different rebates I've done (try speaking to multiple men and women, if require be, tho two of those 3 had been rapidly & simply remedied over telephone w/first individual, and 3rd took a couple of calls + re-mailing copies to repair it)...THEY COUNT ON YOU *NOT* CALLING THEIR BLUFF! (nicely+professionally). I've *never* NOT received a single rebate, at some point... (tho a single took 6 MONTHS, most were 1-three months). -at times, writing can be bit slow, but generally that's attributable to other issues, not the thumbdrive, like antivirus/antispyware/etc scanning the files, often *twice*: on hard drive *and* thumbdrive (possibly even unzipping it along the way, to scan, *twice*! -uncommon, tho), or corrupt OS/HD/files, or fairly generally any usb-extension-cables, even sum short ones, can intermittently slow/etc...-once more, not the thumbdrive's fault... 1) -never ever attempted "ReadyBoost"-OS function, personally can't understand how *any* flash thumbdrive could possibly aid/compare to onboard RAM (which can generally be identified cheaply sufficient, maybe 2x price of Excellent thumbdrive like this 1, and Many Several *MANY* times the size +performance +reliability +longevity! Just doesn't make [much] sense)......2) partitioning! -if u look about lengthy enuf, you'll locate the small, uncomplicated, totally free utilities to do it, plus the unique driver in case the OS refuses to accept additional than 1 partition on "removable" thumbdrives... -easy, w/sum investigation, and can be fairly valuable/safer...

Performs wonderful for anything i have thrown at it, use it primarily for transferring media and it never fails to present rapid file transfers. Dropped it in the snow and it got run over by a truck... dried it out and nonetheless runs like a champ!great little drive. none it will rock your socks off

Comment:
It is really durable. I've washed this flash drive at least ten instances since I bought it, nonetheless functions at 100%. Lots of storage space. None If you rated this drive something other than 5, this device was DoA. There is NO downside to this awesome tiny factor.

Wonderful flash drive, very quick, and usefull. I'm not ever gonna regreat that I purchased it. Specially, with a rebate of a ฟ.00, can't beat it!! None!! None!!

At 17 Mb/s write and 40 Mb/s read, when moving huge files (ӴGB), this a single is much more rapidly than my OCZ Diesel 16Gb or Sandisk Cruzer Micro 8GB, each of which crawl at 2-three Mb/s. It appears like some businesses use second rate memory chips which is a disappointment.The rubber housing is sturdy Nevertheless slower than my external USB2 HDD's, like most other flash drives. I never understood that since flash memory is supposed to be significantly more quickly than rpm drives. But that's not just a Patriot challenge, so i'm not taking off points for it.Hopefully I won't shed the cap, or it won't loosen up too substantially over time. Fairly significantly great so far.

fast as a bat outta heck, great rubber really feel, doesn't block other ports, large capacity, don't notice any activity lightmaxed out at 40MB/second on read, 14.1MB/second on write. employing a hitachi 1TB 7200rpm sataII drive. shows up as 14.9gb in windows 7. would have liked total 16, but its worth it.soft rubber on the keyring slot appears probably to breakcap practically guranteed to get lost, protects from dust, but won't aid stop the connector from bending as it doesn't attach to frame. the missing 1.1gb can effortlessly be attributed to the unique formatting used by patriot to achieve such high transfer speeds. effectively worth it in my opinion.

rubber situation, fairly smaller, rapidly, operates with X360, price, can take a beating, lifetime warranty the rubber cap may possibly fall off I needed some more memory in my X360. I was a tiny concerned it was going to be also fat, but it wasn't, and it's actually shorter then the other memory stick I have in there. I actually may well purchase a couple of much more of these.

Comment:
Nice rubber casing, slick looks, works like a champ in a Xbox 360. As with most of these factors the cap can get lost. The rubber casing makes it as well major to fit in the Xbox 360's rear USB port. Would have to use a USB extension cable for the rear port if having it sticking out of the front of the 360 bothers you. I really like this thing, it looks fantastic and I adore the rubber grip. I purchased it as my major Xbox 360 storage device, as I only have the arcade version of the console. It performs perfectly, and I didn't have to spend into MSoft's silly pricing scheme for official 360 storage devices. On the other hand, the 360 does require to be updated by means of xbox live to recognize thumb drives (which is free, just plug it into the online or burn an update disc from their site)I would have knocked one egg off simply because it won't fit in the rear USB port of the 360, but my Sandisk Cruzer doesn't fit back there either. It's not developed with the rear 360 port in thoughts anyhow, so no knocks on Patriot.There's no purpose to appear at other thumb drives, this is the 1 you want.

Comment:
Fast, tough drive. I lost the cap right after getting it for a month and just last week emailed Patriot and asked for a new cap and they promptly sent TWO of them to me. Under no circumstances been much more satisfied. Cap may get lost... but so could the drive for that matter.

Comment:
Got it to move a extremely significant ƙGB) file. Did that extremely well. Have employed it since to move pictures (I am an avid photographer) and my high school math lessons as effectively as back up my lessons and presentations at operate. I have under no circumstances been disappointed. Even the cap is still firmly attached. It was a deal (at the time.) None, except the white cord that came with mine shows dirt relatively quickly, but that's digging deep to complain. Wish it was as affordable when I purchased it as it is now.

Comment:
Very sturdy. This went by means of the washer, and it nonetheless operates like new. I feel at ease if this is dropped, I know it will still operate just fine. The transfer rate appears a small off exactly where it doesn't show the progress or speed often, but still transfers at an even rate with any other flash drive I've had just before. Overall a excellent flash drive, undoubtedly 1 of the best USB two. flash drives on the market when compared to other people.

It performed flawlessly, and quickly while in prime condition. I purchased my Patriot flash drive in July 10’ and with minimal use it has now failed March 11’. I attribute the failure to its bulky rubber casing and the subsequent anxiety that is placed on the connection finish when other USB peripherals are used straight above it or beneath it. Once the unit failed, I slid the flash drive out of the rubber case to troubleshoot and was disappointed to see a really poorly constructed plastic case. That’s my only qualm and has otherwise served its objective. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer, We're sorry for any inconveniences this may possibly have triggered you.

I've employed PICO series ƘGB) so far and needed a thing that's not simple to loose :) ... so, XPORTER was wonderful option as it is durable, weatherproof and dustproof USB that offers me the speed I want and will need. Sort of collects dust on it's rubber outer situation when in my pockets but no biggie :) Great USB DRIVE!

Comment:
Lasted for at least 3 years. it broke due to the fact of my faulty. I got a new a single with out hesitation. Its a great purchase. The donload and Upload rate of it is quite rapidly. You would appreciate it. The Cap is straightforward to lose. The case is rubber so it could melt if you leave it in the beating sun.

Comment:
It's quick, sturdy, and the ideal flash drive in this price range IMHO. The rubber cover is a lint magnet and also makes the drive a bit bulky. A single need to plan on occupying two USB ports when inserted. It survived a washing machine + drying cycle! I don't advocate you test this purposely though!

Comment:
The flash drive got to me in four days. the drive is waterproof.. witch is good. i went to use it on my personal computer and it mentioned that it was only 14 gbs.. it really should be 16. none

Comment:
Great flash drive. Would obtain once more. Its not bigger, should have bought a 32GB for my wants.

Comment:
Really heavy rubberized coating, super fast write speeds and read speeds. The rubber coating tends to make it big adequate to get close to other USB ports if they are vertically stacked. Functions fine for me, but if I had two of these they both would not fit at the very same time.

Comment:
Worked Good for the 1st month. Quick and nice rubber cover. Appears Cool. Following just five weeks of incredibly light use it suddenly stopped working. I am no longer pleased with this acquire. I hope I nevertheless have all the files in other places. It would suck if I lost some of my information.

Appreciate the rubber coating, doesn't slip from hand. Fairly significantly waterproof with the cap on. The cap could be simply lost if not cautious. It does grip fairly properly, but that may change more than time. Fast , this drive is simply twice as fast as my preceding 4gb Sandisk drive.
