A excellent product! High quality manufacturing, ample capacity & good value with rebate! Lanyard hole is so small as to make it practically useless!

Great value for the amount of storage. It is the slowest USB drive I have ever applied. I purchased this to steer clear of slow CD and DVD install occasions and I'm not sure this saves me any time.As others have posted, its not compatible with Windows 7 Ready Improve. I have applied at least ten of these sorts of drives more than the years and I suspect anything may well be wrong with it since it is so slow but I see other posts with the identical issue.I use this drive to install apps, service packs, and utilities versus making use of several CD's or DVD's.

I've observed some other individuals mention it isn't bootable. If your autorun setting for that drive are turned off, it won't. In a reformat scenario, you can set the BIOS to read from the pen drive first.I set up a slipstream set up on mine and with autorun turned on, it *will* attempt to set up WindowsXP. Do a search for "slipstream XP install" for a significantly less difficult recovery. You can consist of backup settings in yet another directory so that when you've reformatted, reinstate your settings.I've been making use of the stick to transfer under-4g files, so I haven't tried formatting it NTFS, but I'll be purchasing yet another one soon and I'll try with that one particular.Hope all this assists some! I have however to locate something unfavorable about this. The transfer rates are on par with what I'd expect of a tiny flash drive. The technology doesn't seem to be as advanced for them as some count on, but if you aren't anticipating transfer speeds around the similar as among two clean, defragged SATA drives, you'll be sorely disappointed. I'm a bit spoiled by quick transfers in between other drives, but I've learned to be more patient when working with my pen drives.

Great drive! Fast access occasions! No lanyard or keychain string included, BUt def not a huge deal I have reccomended this drive a lot of times now!

Excellent storage capacity for the price. Fast shipping. Great appear and really feel, flashing leds how can you go incorrect =) Be warned, this drive is only capable of a FAT32 file technique. Transferring data to this drive will remove any security and individual file compression capabilities of NTFS file system (the default for Windows 2000 and above). If you're not worried about security or compression, and want lots of memory for little value, this is the stick for you. If you want NTFS capability, preserve shopping. This stick registered 7.47 GB in XP. Transfered 5.four GB from HD in 8ᛐ.

Smaller and clean design, holds up to abuse and day-to-day use. I mainly use this for operate (I'm a pc repair tech specializing in virus removal), so it gets employed a lot all through the day. I've had it for two months now and have not had issues. Just as rapidly as I had expected. The cap is not attached, and might be a issue for some people who tend to loose things. As soon as snapped firmly on the drive though, it doesn't come off unless you drop or throw it... or take it off with your hand like most folks do =P I saw some reviews pointing out slow read/write occasions. I have not noticed this. Very frequently I ought to copy Service pack 1 and 2 齎MB total) to a Windows Vista machine for a client, and consistantly get about 27MB/s with Sata II drives. Just remember copy time is usually limited by the Target difficult drive's read/write time. IDE will obviously be slower than Sata. And other factors affect it as nicely, such as the Cache size of the target drive and even the Operating Method that is being applied.

Value, speed and its from patriot xD cap is uncomplicated to lose so u gotta be extra carefull when i bought this there was a rebate so i bought 5 but then i realized there was a rebate limit of 1 Dx

Speed, More rapidly than others I have tried No Lanyard shipped, but don't genuinely use a single This was to replace the a single I had and fried on a powered hub with the incorrect power supply pluged in, Note don't keep additional energy provide plug around when not needed.

Comment:
What can i say, it is a flash drive. Been working reliably for a whilst now and have it plugged into my router for a small NAS device. As with all flash drives i lost the cap, but i won't deduct eggs just for that.

Speed and use are each very good. Couldn't beat the price or the Newegg delivery speed. Newegg often draws me back with their exceptional service. choice and price. None. If you recieve a Flash Drive and locate it not operating correctly, attempt checking out your USB Card Reader, if you have one on your technique. It took me awhile to figure it out but it seems that the Card Reader induced me a lot of grief when making use of large(above 2GB) Flash Drives. Given that I disabled it (in My Laptop or computer), all my Flash Drives work flawlessly. Hope this assists.

Comment:
I've gone by means of fairly a couple of flash drives (usually end up losing them) or recently my Corsair broke (usb connector went bad, plus the rubber housing makes it bulky). anyhow, got this new patriot drive -- considerably thinner then the Corsair and the efficiency is quite very good, specially for the price tag. Write Speed: 11 MB/secRead Speed: 28 MB/secNot poor for the dollars. I'd recommend it and it fits in the pocket nicely. none, but a lanyard would have been good to incorporate.

It's absolutely nothing special... not super rapidly, but not too slow either. It's been fairly reliable for me. -
