Comment:
Tiny and sleek, works fantastic! No cap holder, in addition to that nothing at all else.

Rapidly transfer rate - 9.67MB/s for a huge fileGreat costSleek glossy black designBetter price tag right after rebate Seems to be a bit flimsy; I can squeeze the plastic housing and it gives under medium pressure.No lanyard!?! All round, I am content with Patriot. None of their items have let me down yet (I don't look at the lack of lanyard a let down, additional of just a 'whydahellnot').

Decent device. It's tiny enough to be capable to go in a side by side USB mount. Quickly enough, copied 7G in a couple of minutes on LInux. Great price tag. None actually. This is my second Patriot. I use it for booting Clonezilla and backing up/restoring my laptop.

Exceptional Size Issue. You could retailer a whole dvd backup on this! No data difficulties at all but. Good cap to safeguard the USB port.Sleek black finishThe tiny blinking red light is a plus, extremely futurist hunting getting that it blinks underneath the black finish with out any visible led on the surface. Observed some complaints about the speed right here, I don't have any complications with the transfer speed on mine. Everything copies onto it at a affordable rate in my opinion. Not a bootable usb drive for usb-live operating systems and such. Not positive if USB Drives can be upped to NTFS filesystem, but this appears to be restricted to FAT32 (perhaps FAT systems possibly?)Vista's speed enhancement utilization of most USB drives doesn't really increase general functionality for me nor for the benchmarks I've read. I use it to store and transfer school functions, portable laptop software program (no install necessary to run), videos, music, the functions.

Nice drive, looks fantastic. Purchased on 10ቸ񳏊. Stopped to function in 2 month. No possibility to format, no possibility to do anything else. Technique (windows) can't recognize the drive with size. The undesirable factor about the issue is that the RMA (failed device) has to be shipped back and Client HAS TO Spend FOR IT. For the cost of ű of the unit the shipment with insurance and delivery confirmation (per PARTRIOT suggestion) will expense about Ŭ-5. Quite Incredibly Bad Customer POLICY.

Massive size, inexpensive price tag, rapidly adequate for everyday use. The cap of the flash drive just snaps on, and not overly securely either I would recommend this drive if you don't mind loosing the cap sooner or later.

Comment:
It's affordable soon after rebate.Rapidly adequate transfer speeds. Easy to shed cap.Not any other individuals at this price. The cost of flash memory has truly come down.

Comment:
Has worked flawlessly with Windows XP and Debian GNU/Linux. Quick reads/writes. The activity light is not incredibly visible. Cap snaps on effectively but comes off effortlessly. The lanyard loop is as well little for a key ring but is not element of the cap. If I necessary another 8GB Drive and the cost was correct, I would get a different a single of these.

Quite superior in terms of data transfer, Excellent quality product,so far i like it a lot. Yes,the cap may well be a tiny loose, but that doesn`t bother me. I don`t care what the speed of transferring files is, it`s just i use it everyday for movies and photographs and this is the a single explanation i purchased it.

Comment:
Every little thing that I have recognizes it .. Seems decently quickly.. Its little... None 8 GB in this tiny issue.. jeez

Comment:
Plug it in and use. Got the cost-free shipping deal!! Not definitely a con but I did notice it will get SLIGHTLY warm soon after a couple of HOURS of getting plugged in and moving data onto it. Purchased this to replace my 2gig thumbdrive. The lanyard from my old Verbatim thumbdrive fit this 1 perfectly.

Comment:
Extremely tiny, but don't let the size fool you. It's fairly quick. The write speeds are faster as my old Seagate IDE HDD (old as in I constructed a new system and upgraded). Sorry, I don't remember the exact read/write speeds. It does what it's suppose to do. There's nothing at all poor to say about it. Purchased it just to install an OS on my system. Don't seriously have any use for it now. I'm glad that I bought it, never ever know when I may need it.

A large capacity which is nice. A easy usb design which performs fine for my wants. Alright speed

Tiny, sleek, excellent price with the rebate, performs with all formats, nice little red light that flickers when information is getting written to the drive. The only factor I don't like is that the cap doesn't attach to the back like it does with numerous other flash drives. You can for that reason quickly shed it. It's such an uncomplicated factor to incorporate into a flash drive style that I don't know why Patriot didn't do it. This is actually a wonderful price tag with the rebate. I tested it with modest file sizes and big (larger than 4gb), and all diverse formats (FAT32, NTFS, exFAT) and all work flawlessly. I decided to keep it in exFAT since I will be utilizing this only at home for backup for my personal computers. I have XP and Microsoft has driver downloads on their internet site that will allow XP SP2 and SP3 machines to study, write and format in exFAT. I installed the driver on all my XP machines and now they all function with exFAT. For these not familiar with exFAT, it works with file sizes over 4gb but has the low overhead of FAT32. Moreover, with the drive formatted in NTFS I couldn't get it to disconnect by Safely Take away in the taskbar as Windows would constantly report it as nonetheless being in use ... but with exFAT, I have no such complications. The only downside of exFAT is that presently it only performs on XP (with special drivers installed), Vista, or Windows 7 but its usage ought to develop in the future.

Works effectively, rapidly, cheap. Didnt come with a slice of chocolate cake.Truly, no cons I can consider of yet. How quite a few other businesses actually come on Newegg's evaluation area and try to give assistance to these customers who are possessing problems? Now THAT is what I call consumer service. A corporation that stands behind thier product, is a corporation that gets my repeated company. Avoid the cheapies that are on sale, unless you like dealing with difficulties. And it's not like these are way more expensive, either. Fantastic job Patriot. I am a believer.

Anything except for.... The important chain hook is flimsy as all hell and tiny. Mine finaly broke on me these days after... around 40 days... just out of my return range. Looks like im going to have to attempt and use the manfactuers warantee not that, will do a lot great. As probably around another 40 days after I get a replacement the new one particular will break... In brief Patriot hardware = great. Person who created the case must = fired.

Low-cost, 8GB. The plastic casing and cap feels *incredibly* inexpensive, but what do you anticipate for ů.99 after MIR? I purchased this flash drive due to the fact I required 1 that was 8GB, and it was the cheapest accessible. With that limited requirement, it served its goal. If you're going to be carrying this factor about all the time, I'd commit a bit much more to get one particular that feels like it would place up with a lot more abuse ahead of breaking in half.

Comment:
Low-cost and substantial enough for several tasks. Create high quality is far better than expected for the price tag. Slow, even by price range storage standards. Mine writes at 4MB/sec and reads at 10MB/sec. That's ok, but substantially slower than a lot of other USB drives. A very good deal if speed isn't crucial.

Comment:
Fantastic value for the storage. Planning to create a bootable drive for Win 7 all versions. Would obtain acquire once more.

Comment:
It functions no

Exceptional USB drive all about. The casing is easy but sturdy, and the activity LED is nice and vivid. Mine came with just over 8.2 GB of actual usable space. I have 2 linux OS's installed on it (its a live-usb disk), 32-bit and 64-bit, and it functions wonderfully without having a hitch. Driverless for each Windows and Linux is extremely convenient. Transfer speeds are fantastic. Very little physically also--smallest USB drive I personal to date. General outstanding item. No neck/carrying strap, but it stays in my pocket anyway. 1st Patriot Memory item, and it has assisted me develop confidence in them.

Worked right away. Formats NTFS. Shipping as usual From Newegg fast. When ordering product on item page stated limit five per custumer. There was a ů.00 rebate on drive. I ordered 5. Only allowed a single rebate per address by Patriot. If I had kown that I would not have ordered five. I only ordered 5 due to the fact I was going to give three away as presents to buddies. Did not say on rebate information. I will not send back. Just that it would have been nice to know up front.

Came suitable on time. Excellent shipping as usual with NewEgg. I can under no circumstances have sufficient flashdrives around. Was a excellent come across. Thanks for the fantastic value They could be 32 gbs for the identical price lol
