It was on sale?

I've been playing ripped music from pen drives and this is the first drive where the read rates can't keep up.

Buy it for capacity, not for speed.

It has fast peak speeds but it's sustainable write speed average is less than 1/4 that and it often hangs for a bit before surging again. Fine for smaller files but if you're copying large ones you won't be averaging anywhere near the rated speed.

Fast - True to their advertised speeds. Cool design.

Sliding body can get stuck on a corner of the USB connector sometimes and refuse to close.

For functionality, I trust the Supersonic's. They've been good for countless write/wipe cycles, never lose speed, and have never failed on me.

-Very nice design with excellent material feel, rubber grip, solid "click" when opening and closing the cover -Extremely fast for a thumb drive: over USB 3.0, I got a 150MB/s read speed (to SSD), and write speed of 40MB/s (if you have an ASUS motherboard, get the USB 3.0 Boost utility, it works with nearly all USB storage devices, and in this case increased the write speed to 96MB/s!)

-No lanyard -The cover doesn't prevent dust, pocket debris, or liquids from getting into the open USB contacts, just protects from drops onto hard surfaces

I have tried many different USB thumb drives from many companies over the years, and the only ones I still regularly use are made by Patriot. Never failed, even after 10 years of use, and faster than any other brand by a huge margin for less money.

We have tested and recommended this Flash Drive for installing Windows from USB. Many other USB 3.0 Flash Drives gives drive/partition selecting errors during Windows Installation.

Pick it up if you want speedy storage and to install Windows from USB.
