Patriot Xporter XT Boost 16GB Flash Drive (USB 2.0 Portable)

Comment:
Virtually lasted a year, which is not poor for a USB drive contemplating how substantially I utilized this negative boy. Rapidly, trustworthy. The cap is not constructed in, but wasn't a challenge for me given that I under no circumstances lost it.

-Passes study/write speed requirements for the xbox 360-Higher capacity-Durable-Rubbery jacket protects it well -A tiny big due to the protective case-As well big to be utilised in the rear USB port of my xbox ྴGB Pro version) I got this soley for added storage for my xbox 360. Plugged it in, formatted/speed tested, and it was prepared to go. Installed a game to it and the game played fine, just as fast as playing a game from the hdd.

Has worked flawlessly with Windows XP and Debian GNU/Linux. Rapidly reads/writes. Good protective rubbery cover. Bright, visible activity light (only visible from one side, though). Substantial, rubbery lanyard loop opposite the cap finish. Not only does the rubbery cover shield the drive, it keeps it from quickly slipping out of my hands and pocket. None to report. I believed that I got a fantastic deal on this, with a rebate, until I saw this weekend's Newegg promotion! If I had the cash, I would get an additional one or two of these.

Comment:
Rapidly and the case is extremely nice. Physique of the drive is flimsy, the cap is easy to drop, and speeds are about the identical as you'd get out of a transportable hard drive. If you're looking for a quickly thumb drive then appear no additional, but if you don't thoughts the size a 2.five" portable hard drive is probably the superior decision.

Comment:
Good rubberized coating, that makes it possible for it to be dropped with no problems (multiple occasions). It is the quickest USB device I have ever used ( haven't attempted 3. but). The write speed is still very fast but it is the read speed that will genuinely surprise you. Transfering two .mkv video files from my challenging drive to my USB (while items had been running in the background) the speeds went amongst 16 MB/s at the lowest to around 18 MB/s. The files had been 2.43 gigs in all and took 2 mins 37 seconds to transfer. To transfer those files back to the challenging drive took only 1 min 18 sec. And the lowest speed when transfering back was 32 MB/sRubber cap fits nicely on the back of the stick People can nevertheless steal them. Had the a single i purchased about two years ago stolen, but bought a new one particular to replace it. Couldn't feel of getting a various one

Low price, create transfer speed, rubberized outer skinI researched 16GB flash drives prior to obtain. I was hoping to find a suitable USB 3. flash drive, but found that the speeds have been not really there and the expense appeared to be too higher. So I opted for USB two..Nonetheless, I was hoping to get an upgrade in write speed from the 7MB/sec I was finding from my existing 8GB flash drive.Right after buying, I tested the drive by copying a 13.1 GB video (mkv) file to this drive. The copy (write to flash drive) was achieved at a rate of ten.1mb/sec. The file was written from a WD 1TB SATA III really hard drive. The outcomes showed a important improve so I am satisfied about that.The rubberized outer skin looks like it would defend the drive even if I threw it against the wall, not that I would do that. None I am hoping that sometime in the close to future there will be USB three. flash drive accessible at affordable price that will deliver 10x create speed functionality over USB two..

Rapidly (while it performs) Bought on 7ብ. Now 3ቧ and I have to replace it for a second time. 1st time took 3 weeks to get replacement. Don't know if I will even bother to get this one particular replaced. Most likely just go back to San Disk.

Just barely clears the front slot opening for the new Xbox 360 slim model. Nevertheless, it doesn't appear to leave adequate area for use of the second usb port. It passes the Xbox's tests for encouraged storage. Microsoft doesn't say exactly what the benchmarks are for a passing grade but my guess is any device that is Ready Increase capable will suffice. Also, if your objective is NOT to use this for any Xbox certain content material storage (game saves, demos, avatar, and so forth), any usb device will do. The test is only for use as an Xbox storage device. Transfer rate of a 1gb movie was in the 9.5x range. X in this case is any quantity from -9. The transfer was accomplished in much less than two minutes. Becoming mostly comprised of rubber, it's a dust magnet. The cap, when removed, doesn't remain on the opposite end securely and feels like it can fall off quickly.Contrary to what someone mentioned earlier concerning an included usb extension, this is not true. There is no usb extension cord. In addition, there is no plastic cover either. To some, myself integrated, the photographs may possibly give that impression.Lastly, what some have mentioned in regards to usb crowding is somewhat true. The device's rubber body is really chunky and may well have troubles with neighboring usb plugs that are chunky as effectively. Some newer usb devices have slimmer plugs, logictec corded mice come to mind. I have this device alongside my mouse and due to the fact its plug is substantially slimmer, the two devices work without having challenge. Had I recognized the Xbox test was for Xbox related content only, I would have bought a different 16gb black usb device. My only use for it was for watching motion pictures on my device without the want of burning a dvd disc.

It's pretty quickly. It broke following about two weeks. I can no longer use it at all. Not as sturdy as it seems. I didn't move it atall for 2 weeks in addition to after.

It begins out quite quick, and it has a quite satisfactory capacity for transferring a variety of files. In particular massive files or folders. It slows down. A single of the slowest operations is to write a bunch of smaller files individually. Now, my Xporter XT no longer passes the ReadyBoost test on my Windows 7 laptop. Also, cached writes of lots of small files is satisfactory. The operation that I use to illustrate this impact is OpenOffice.org installation. The very first step is to unpack the installation archive, and it's possible to unpack it as soon as and install on numerous computers. If I unpack the archive onto the Xporter, it requires forever; but if I unpack it into the really hard drive and then copy it onto the Xporter, it requires a reasonable amount of time. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer,We are sorry that you are experiencing functionality degredation with your flash drive.

I have several job sites I service so having about each and every essential program and tool I can picture is a must. This holds every thing I will need and then some. I have come household twice now and forgot to take it out of my pocket and run it via the wash and dryer. This is a pro on Patriot's component as it has survived each times and by no means observed a hiccup out of it. Con on my aspect for getting stupid and not checking my pockets, but it survives and continues to carry out. Bulky exterior, but eventually that protects every little thing that is on the inside... my facts is more essential than creating certain it performs with other USB devices next to it. It's a USB thumb drive meant to be plugged in and unplugged after performed. Have purchased many of the 8GB models for family members and have heard nothing at all but great things. A handful of of them are for their kids and survive college on a each day basis, which has to say one thing.

Amazingly fast, tough, and feels excellent No flaws but I enjoy the flash drive so far, I transferred ㅄgigs of files at after inside minutes, for ฮ you can not go incorrect

Comment:
Quite excellent and lots of space, Like the truth that its 1 of these shock proof varieties nothing at all so far

Comment:
This drive is a ton faster than any of my other previous thumb drives. That possessing been said, this is the initial thumb drive I've bought - all the others have been freebies. The case is rubber, so it tends to get covered in pocket lint.The rubber cap will probably get lost sooner or later. The capacity is quite good, the speed is good, and the price tag is right.

Comment:
Rapid, and trustworthy. Have had no concern writing to and playing films from this drive. Cap could be lost very easily.

Comment:
Rapid and reputable. Would be good if the new a single got right here in a timely manner, wife lost her old a single and she necessary it ASAP but they sent it DHL . . . .thanks Newegg. Lets couple of items that have come via DHL look to take three weeks. This is a joke, please warn me about the shipper subsequent time so I can discover yet another vendor.

It's quick... 16MB/s create speed in Win7. Copied a 11GB MKV in just a couple of minutes. It had no dilemma streaming a high bitrate 1080p MKV file to my Boxee via USB. Little bulky, but it fits everywhere i stick it Really like the rubberized finish on it.

Comment:
A incredibly solid and rapid Flash Drive - I have an linux image loaded on it and it boots up nearly as quick as my difficult drive image on my portable Pc. This is the 2nd a single of this series that I've purchased and I'm very pleased. Practically nothing to date.

Comment:
Works with my Xbox 360. Quickly, much faster than the xternal HDD that I had been making use of. Big file holding space. Waterproof case is big, had to take away it to use with Xbox. I had searched for Flash drives that would work with my Xbox 360. I like to install games to the method in order to reduce wear and load occasions. This worked like a charm, no concerns or caution indicators. Study up if you are employing for the exact same objective, some critiques I had discovered suggested that even within brands the memory is distinct sometimes. Excellent alternative to the expensive MS branded drive.

Incredibly Rapidly and trustworthy None

The rubber casing tends to make this a pretty durable thumb drive compared with most.Typical sustained write speed is ㅇ.3MB/s which is fairly a lot faster than most other thumb drives.Installing Win7 from it is significantly faster than installing from a DVD drive (about 3x more quickly). This drive could be also wide for some systems (particularly laptops) but so far I've only employed it on a desktop with the front ports (which are spaced far sufficient that it hasn't been a challenge.) I find that I'm more applied to the retractable interface like on Sandisk's Cruzers but this nonetheless performs pretty properly, would just be nice if i had a lanyard or some thing to tie the cap to the other finish of the thumb drive so it wouldn't be so simple to drop.

Low-cost solution for XBox storageBlazing rapidly functionalityRubber sleeve gives protection16GB is the maximum that XBox will recognize on a single stick anyway Rubber sleeve is thick and prevents it from being utilised in the rear XBox USB port(s)Rebates are obtaining old, expecially for little purchases like this - just drop the value by บ! Plugged this into my circa 2008 XBox (Falcon chipset) front panel USB jack and it practically doubled the storage of my existing 20GB difficult drive. Configuring it for my XBox couldn't have been simpler as it was instantly recognized; XBox did its obligatory study/write speed tests and reported that it was certainly quickly adequate to use for storage of saved games, game installs, demos, video, and so forth. Now I don't require to pay ๖ for an XBox challenging drive and can rather put the money towards a wireless N network adapter which I desperately need to have. Thanks Patriot!
