Patriot Xporter Magnum 64GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable)

Comment:
Product is not fast and costumer service sucks.

Excellent product. Lousy cap. Keeps falling off.

Comment:
I bought this flash drive for almost a year ago. I haven't had any problems with it. I put all my work documents on it to be able to work from any computer. I going to buy another one and use it as a back up device for the other flash drive.

Loved the size of the drive, backed up 2 computers on it, home and work. Circuit board started sliding in and out, had to superglue in. End started rocking back and forth. Barely was able to copy information off of it. Wouldn't recommend.

I am currently contracting and have to work on extremely large files and makes it very easy to work on these large files at the multiple locations I have to work at.

I have never used a flash drive before, but this one appears to be the best buy for the money, although I have yet to receive the rebates ($20 from CompUSA and $15 from Bing). It did the job of transferring everything I wanted, mostly photos and documents from an old hard drive that I thought was going out to a new desktop. It worked very well, and I would recommend this site for the great price and fast delivery.

Great capacity. Just plug it in and go. Size was no problem at all. My ports are located vertically so the width of the drive is no detriment. The huge capacity allowed me to store an image file of my entire hard drive in case of a crash.

Hi all, Let me preface my comments by saying that the best flash drive I ever owned is a Patriot 16gb drive (the rubber cased one). We've recently being installing SBS 2008 which advises the use of Flash drives for backup devices. Based on my experiences with Patriot drives, we bought TEN of these babies. The problem: 1) They are all falling apart. 2) The lids never stayed on (even before they started falling apart) 3) The transfer speeds are pretty poor too. 4) Give the above, they are very expensive. On most of these drives what is happening is the circuit board and usb connector are coming free from the housing. When you go to pull it out of a machine, the case comes off in your hand and your left with a circuit board stuff in the PC. Once this happens a few times, it starts happening in your pocket too, exposing the memory chips to the world. I'm only buying patriot drives that are rubberized (I put my one of those through the wash a couple of times!)

easily installs, runs fast, so far no glitches, compatible both with Vista & XP; little bulky, difficult to find a case for carrying around your neck.

I have Not Had A Lot Of Experience With Flash Drives,This Is An Amazing Product.Fast,Easy.Compact.Good Price. This store Comes Through Again!

Bought for use with Toshiba x305-q701. Mainly using speedboast function right now. It DOES make a difference and I consider it worth the cost. Next is a CPU upgrade.

This flash drive is a fantastic piece of hardware. Great, solid build quality, huge speed, and, of course, massive amounts of storage in s small space. Only two gripes: There's no string to attach the cap to the body, and there's no included app/gui for browsing the drive of securing it with a password. Highly recommended.

ive had many USBs....this is extremely fast...and durable.. ive had the Patriot 32gigs for a while and it has performed and continues to perform admirably... another excellent product from Patriot...

The quality is good, and it is reasonable fast. The drive was unexpectedly wide, almost double the width of other drives. This makes it impossible to insert into some USB slots. It came formatted as FAT instead of NTFS, which limits the size of the files that can be copied to it. Hard to understand for a drive of this size.

Comment:
It's giving me write speeds of about 15 MB/s and reads of 29 MB/s (on large files for both). It was pricey but the space is great.

Just to give a bit of background I have been in the market for a 64GB USB flash drive for a few months. I initially purchased the Kensington 64GB flash drive but it had major problems and didn't work. I returned it and received a refund. I was hesitant about buying another one but decided on this one and it has worked beautifully. I don't have any complaints at all. It is a bit wide but it comes with a USB extension cable which is great because now I don't have to worry about it getting broken off while I am using my laptop. Overall a fast and realiable flash drive.

I could not be any happier with this. I loaded 36gb in just about 45min. Totally unheard of with any other flash drives I have had. Amazing!!!

This is a great device. I prefer this over mini-hard drives, which for some reason don't work for a well. I first bought a ''Kingston Technology DT150/64GB 64GB DataTraveler 150 USB 2.0 Flash Drive'' that was slow as Christmas, so I sent it back and got this one which is twenty times faster than the other one. My only complaint, is, it is very wide, however, this problem was solved by the included USB extension cable. Another downside is that the top will not store on the back unless you do not have the included strap attached. It can be easily formatted to NTFS however, if you want to format it back to FAT-32 it is a little tricky but if you want to do it all you have to do is Google ''converting NTFS to FAT-32''. Other than that it is a very nice product, it has a very nice metal casing and it feels heavy in my hand making it seem like it is a very sturdy product. If you want a good quality product, then spend the few extra dollars and get this.

Don't be fooled by other reviews. I had high hopes before even ordering this product by it's descriptions. IT IS The best looking, fastest and most stylish USB Pendrive I have used 210x read speed and the fastest write speeds of a USB Pendrive I have ever experienced. This one is well worth the money, it's a bummer one must wait about 3 months for 25$ rebate, but the drive performance makes up for it. It's metal casing and cool neck strap end and small light on end make it very nice looking. Yes it does have a cap but the cap i keep on a safe part of my desk along with my other usb pendrive cap that's been there until i go out of the house with the drive for years now. At any rate previous (many) reviews speak of frivilous things whining about them like the cap but come on, it's a cap! The drive is wider than ANY other USB Pendrive in my collection, but it never has once and I dont think it will ever be a problem to plug it into most any usb port. If it ever is a usb extender come with

Works great. Its large size sometimes prevents it from fitting in the space around the usb port, but I just put it in a port on the back of the one computer it wouldn't fit in. It also comes with a small extension wire to remedy that problem. It is very fast and reliable. I highly recommend.

Got it to transfer files from dieing computer to new one. Got the job done with plentyof room left over on the flash drive. Love the color--no one else has a flash drive like it. Flash drives where the plug retracts are difficult to work with; this drive has a cap instead, which is much better to work with....

I've had this drive for almost a week now and I am pleased with it. I've had a few drives in my time and I can say that this is one of the best. Pro: Fast read and write speed. Large capacity. Strong metallic construction makes it feel very rugged. Extension cable provided to connect to crowded USB hubs. Con: Wide design makes it hard to fit USB devices side by side on a hub. Bottom Line: Given the physical dimensions issue of this drive, I would still be willing to buy it again. With this drive, I hardly have a need to carry other storage devices. I've consolidated my USB drives and have tons of room left for putting two or three DVDs worth of data on it.

I am an experienced user with a dozen flash drives from 256 MB to this 64 GB and this one is by far my favorite. It is on par with my 16 GB Cruzer Contour it replaced for read speed and only slightly slower at writing. This is the only drive to look at if you need 64 GB in your pocket.

Love it. Perfect for student. Fast and large. Scan all your texts, save all your papers for that MA, MS, or PHD. Great for study. I scanned all my papers, then shredded them. A lifetime of papers, with lots of room left over for all the new stuff. Also scanned all my music. I absolutely love it. Thousands of pictures.
