    Patriot 256GB Supersonic Boost Series USB 3.0 Flash Drive with Up to 150MB/Sec - PEF256GSBUSB

    • been using for a year and a half and it works perfectly.transfer speed is fast , construction is solid (contrary to some comments here saying it fells apart) and the feel of rubberized texture makes handling the drive very pleasing.
    • Very good speed and price
    • I often experience extremlly slow transfer speeds where it drops to
    • Very fast transfer speeds compared to my other flash drives
    • High speed transfers and durable
    • I've been using the 32Gb version for almost a year, and I enjoy the speed and size of it, but yesterday it came apart - the rubber housing came off of the little circuit board inside when I pulled it out of the USB port on my laptop
    • As far as speed is concern, I don't see it will raise my eyebrows.
    • I checked the speed of this drive using the Black Magic Disk Speed Test and found that it did not even come close to its advertised transfer speed
    • The read speed is negligibly slower but write speed is significantly faster
    • I don't benchmark things... but these have great capacity and speed for the money.
    • I used the BlackMagic Disk Speed Test on a Mac with USB 3.0, and I saw consistent read speeds of 140 to 330mbps, and consistent wright speeds of 22 to 50mbps
    • Really nice read speeds
    • As expected, excellent and great speed.
    • but I don't know if it will affect the speed but for movies and videos it works great!
    • Definitely faster than USB 2.0 but all that speed is hyped up imh.o
    • Other drives may claim fast speeds and some may even meet those high speeds but if they do, it's only temporary
    • The read and write speed is not as fast as I expected
    • Very decent write speed
    • Good speed and a great value.
    • Fast transfer speeds even in USB 2.0
    • I've had better speed results with the 256GB Lexar; however, the Lexar broke and its housing quality is lacking.
    • It's a little better than a USB 2.0 speed of 450Mbit/s
    • The Bad: This flash drive is great, but when you use it for USB 2.0, the speed is extremely slow
    • It delivered vastly superior speeds to this drive for both reads and writes, but also costs more than three times as
    • It is great for fast file transfers, and if reformatted as NTFS, can be used for ReadyBoost in Windows 7 or Windows 8 with the full 32 GB capacity - gives a nice speed bump while multitasking.
    • I was hoping to get a faster read speed that's why i chose this drive over other drives that advertised only 40MB/second
    • Speed is great.
    • The read speed, however, is fine
    • However, the speed of the drive is great.
    • Along with impressive transfer speeds on any type of file, I was able to use it to install Windows 8 onto an SSD in 90 seconds
    • Speed was better than I expected and the drive never heated up, which some others will do under heavy lifting like this
    • The read and write speeds are great not quite up to the claimed 150MB/s read, but at 130MB/s I cannot complain
    • Huge USB drive and pretty fast speeds also
    • This USB drive has absolutely outstanding speeds, both read and write that is
    • The speed is plenty fast for me, however I have not measured the speeds.
    • I have enjoyed having it handy and the additional speed is pretty nice
    • The download speed to the Eluktronics SSD hovered around 160-165MB/s, usually with slow but quickly accelerating starts to stable speed (remember, these are all sequential files averaging about 30GB).
    • Excellent quality and superb speed in extra low price
    • the write speeds were disappointing
    • However, I noticed the write speed is considerably slower then the PNY that I had before.
    • Good USB drive with reasonable speeds
    • Incredible speeds and durable rubberized exterior protects your valuable information within this USB key.
    • Obviously, the read speed is gret, but the write speed could stand to be improved
    • The speeds are incredible, and it is tiny and rugged
    • Very amazing pen drive , giving faster speed than what was promised.
    • The speeds well exceed those it claims
    • I expected better latency and speed from this memory but sadly, it is much slower than rated
    • The read speed is negligibly slower but write speed is significantly faster
    • Overall this is a nice little USB thumb drive that provides excellent speeds in an enclosure that will stand the test of time.
    • Amazing upload speeds.
    • Fast speeds, good size and the rubber casing makes it very durable.
    • this product states transfer speeds up to 150mbpsmore like 150kbpsvery dissatisfied my 8gb 2.0 usb stick is faster than this.
    • The speeds are excellent for the cost as well as my tests gave me sequential read speeds of 253.4MB/s and sequential write speeds of 82.17MB/s.
    • I've had a previous versing 8GB and the write speed was excellent.
    • Works like a champ, I love the speed and capacity.
    • This is a durable, medium speed, inexpensive USB 3.0 thumb drive
    • Nice price, nice speed.
    • It works as advertised, very reliable and good writing speed
    • If you plug it into a USB 2 port, you won't notice 3.0 speeds, but even so, it works as a fast 2.0
    • Very fast transfer speeds.
    • Great speeds as shown in the crystaldiskmark screenshots in the comments.thank you seller and thank you alexis
    • Fast transfer speeds.
    • Also the screaming fast speeds afforded by USB 3 compatibility is a huge plus.
    • If you want speed buy the RAGE 3.0 version.
    • Speed seems just fine, but I did not run
    • Fast transfer speeds and there are no bloatware software products on the drive that need to be deleted before use.
    • I'm used to fast Patriot drives - seems like I need the good speed.
    • Speed is good enough for a 3.0 usb flash
    • I like the speed and capacity
    • The write speed from the USB drive back to the desktop was super fast even on a 2.0 port

    • Great to have the space and still maintain excellent speed.
    • I love the speed & the capacity of this USB drive!
    • Slow speeds but very durable
    • The writing speed is slower than expected.
    • While the advertised speeds are correct, I wish that the wright speed was easier to find on the product page
    • They are above average (consistently achieved 12-15 MB/s) and redeem the fourth star
    • It should perhaps receive three stars because it failed to achieve higher than 50 MB/s in sequential read speeds (advertised 90 Mb/s) and it has abysmal random write speeds (never breaking 0.1 MB/s on any benchmark).
    • GREAT DEAL, FAST S&H,= HAPPY CAMPER
    • I was astonished to find that the uploads occurred at an average upload speed of about 68MB/s with peaks exceeding 84MB/s.
    • but as I transferred another 4GB file, I see a measly 10mb/s
