This is a great flash drive, and if you are mainly going to be using it for USB 3.0, GO FOR IT

If the manufacturer made an interface for linux and mac, it would be an excellent drive.

I would definitely recommend this flash drive.

Great drive

I've owned several Patriot XT usb 2.0 drives and I've loved them

Reasonable price, excellent drive.

This drive is most certainly faster than USB 2.0, but not as fast as the 32GB Patriot SuperSonic that I own.

Not bad 256GB flash drive.

Really nice drives!

In total i have about 20 or more USB drives 2.0 and 3.0 that i tested, and i always test using a fast SSD drive so the hard drive does not add to the time very much, and this proves to work well because the times of other drives come in at about what they are advertised to be

Pretty fast (but I've had faster drives)

I really like this drive

I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great flash drive at good prices and fast service.

This drive is hyped to be USB 3.0 up to 90

The drive is useless as a 3.0 device.

This drive works well, and is sufficiently fast to run a Linux distro live.

To conclude, I'm kind of disappointed to see that the drive can't write as fast as it should be able to

I made several attempts, but they all failed, leaving the drive unable to accept new data, although it reported 91.4 GB free

I had been looking for a fast dependable flash drive to take the place of my Sandisk Cruzer Glide.

Not the faster USB 3.0 drive but fast enough and the rubber case offers more protection than most flash drives.

The speed is almost as fast as an external hard drive, and the price is a bargain.

Great USB drive

This drive is both fast and sturdy, I've washed it in my pocket a couple times and it works like new

I wanted a faster USB flash drive that I could update at home on my ASUS P8P67 motherboard with i7-2600k processor, and then take to work to use on computers that have only USB 2.0 ports

One of the greatest flash drives I have ever owned

It destroys the load times for my saved games vs. the internal 250 gb hard drive.

It is not as fast as other small er flash drives I have, but the additional capacity is nice

I use this to boot TAILS or Ubuntu from time to time and it feels faster than running my primary OS from my hard drive.

The quality is good, the drive is rugged, and best of all relatively speedy

USB Flash Drives, along with hard drives and other types of computer storage, are measured in bytes

This flash drive with USB 3.0 is fast and furious

This is an amazingly fast 16GB capacity thumb drive, perhaps the fastest at this capacity (though larger capacity drives are faster still

This drive is immune to fall damage from any height, the rubber housing feels very sturdy and quality made

I enjoyed this drive for the week that it lasted.

I'd have given 5 stars if the housing were a bit more snug, but this is a great flash drive

These drives have not failed me yet so anytime I need another flash

All I can personally attest to is that my drive has been abused by an 18-month-old, run through the laundry, and carried in a pocket five days a week, and still works very well with no looseness or obvious separation of the rubber from the drive body.

The drive seems pretty durable, and the transfer rates were as advertised

, this is a very good flash drive to get

There's no hidden boot partitions or stupid auto-install tools, just a freshly formatted USB drive ready to go.

I love this flash drive

However, computer hard drive and storage makers had the clever idea that a gigabyte is defined as a "billion" bytes, so why do they need to give you extra bytes you didn't pay for just because someone who made the PC decided 1024 bytes are in a kilobyte

The second time this error happened, I backed up all the data to an external hard drive, and then tried to re-format the unit

Good quality flash drive

This is a really good USB drive.

I only changed it to move up in size, but now I get a new drive every two years now, just because at some point the thing must die, no?

I have used Patriot XT series drives for years.

This is really a very good flash drive, fast and small

It is not the fastest drive around but it is more ruggedly packaged to hold up to physical abuse.

Overall this is a good drive that should be durable and steady for years to come.

Excellent Flash Drive

These are the best flash drives I've ever had.

Good solid reliable drive with plenty of space for a good price!

Among the reasons I like the Patriot drives is the rubber exterior that provides excellent shock protection in case of a drop.

Very good backup drives and fast if you have the 3.0 USB.

A little bit chunky, but it is a good solid drive.

The drive is fast and huge.

USB 3.0 means that this drive is snappy - whether or not you plug it into a 3.0 slot, this drive tends to be faster than any other drive I have in my stable

Compared to all the cheaper higher capacity drives, these ones always work with booting up USB installs for Mac, Linux or Windows OS installs.

It's not the fastest flash drive in the world but does a great job

Even though none of the ports at work are 3.0, this drive is still fast enough for my purposes.

The good news for everyone is that the improvement doesn't appear to be due to USB3 so if you pop this memory stick into a USB2 port you'll still see these gains over the old version (which was a fine flash drive in its own right).Other stuff:You'll either love or hate the shell

The drive works exactly as I'd expect

I don't believe the drive would have been compromised and thus lost my data if the design or construction had been better

My last Patriot drive I used for two years, error free

I replaced my dead Lexar flash drive with

The drive still works, but the cover no longer stays on

tough and fast, good travel drive.

Very Good and FAST Drive

This is the best flash drive I have purchased.

it's nice to have a more solid rugged USB thumb drive.

After a few speed tests the drive seems to warm up, most likely due to the rubber shell.

Great flash drive

This is a great little flash drive and great value

I'm used to fast Patriot drives - seems like I need the good speed.

I was able to transfer the same file back to the computer hard drive within one second!

I have broken or just plain worn out many cheaper drives.

I love this flash drive because of the rubber case, i feel like it can take general abuse better than all the other ones on the market

So when I wanted another new drive I decided to stick with quality over how cheap the drive was which is what drove me back to the Patriot and the XT series in specific.

I keep it on my key ring, and even though I lost the cap the 2nd day, the drive has continued to perform well

This is a great little Flash Drive, I like the rubberized coating which makes it safe from being smashed

For the price, this is one great flash drive.
