Patriot Xporter XT Boost High Speed 16GB USB2.0 Flash Memory Drive Water & Shock Resistant

Cons: Hardly any but a weak spot for the drive is the base of the usb input mine cracked the solder points and some of the board with it. After it got caught on something as I was moving my laptop it shouldn't have cracked as easily as it did.

Pros: It was fast good forums to help with the drive while it lasted. Good casing and doesn't look like most USB sticks.

Cons: well, in win 7 the fat32 format can only do 4 gig for ready boast.. since i only got this for boost 12 gig wasted! but i found formatting to exFAT will allow you to use the whole thing.. boy did my hard drive stop thrashing....

Pros: lot o gigs, good price after rebate! great shipping price

Cons: Speed boost takes 4mb of space! Also waiting on rebate still.

Pros: Very fast drive, If you download the 4mb speed program. I transfered files within seconds, still have yet to try huge files.

Cons: 1. The lanyard loop on the drive body seems to be rather flimsy and insubstantial, as a previous reviewer noted. I suspect that keeping it on the lanyard or a key chain will result in the loop breaking. 2. The cap could stay on the USB connector a bit tighter. I'll probably lose it eventually. This is a problem with this style of drive from all manufacturers, not just Patriot. Note: The drive cap is designed to be put on the lanyard loop while the drive is in use. 3. The size of the drive is large enough to obscure adjacent ports on some computers or present difficulty when plugging into recessed ports on some computers. I personally don't care, but it is something to be considered. Again, the included extender cable mitigates this problem.

Pros: NOTE: I have owned and used older, lower capacity versions of this product line. This review is based on the 16gb version.Speed - Large Contiguous Files (ISOs, video files, tared directories, etc) 17-20 MB/sec Write 25-38 MB/sec Read Speed - Small Files (office documents, text files, mp3s, etc)8-15 MB/sec Write20-35 MB/sec ReadI tested speed by moving 14gb of data to and from the drive twice for each type of file. Speeds are confirmed on a Windows 7 64bit workstation and the same hardware running Fedora 12 64bit using the same files. Durability -The rubberized coating on the drive body seems quite durable and is quite similar to other popular rubberized flash drives. It should easily handle daily use and normal abuse. If you want something that will survive WWIII, there are other drives aimed at that purpose.It comes with a short USB extender cable, presumably to mitigate the issues related to the physical size of the drive.

Cons: The cap is easy to lose because it will not go on the end while the drive is in use

Pros: Works Great

Cons: will probably have to reinforce the tab and figure out a way to connect the cap

Pros: nice price point(if the rebate goes through), should be enough memory to keep me happy for a while, write and read speeds as everyone has stated, not as bulky as some reviews give the impression of it being

Cons: No cons on the device, but the rebate processing is a different story.

Pros: Great device. Blistering fast read/write performance (almost as fast as NewEgg's delivery times). Great for ReadyBoost. Compatible with everything I've tried so far, even Windows CE. What's not to like?

Cons: Cap could be extremely easy to lose. In a couple months these will probably become cheaper.

Pros: Faster than my other flash drives. Great for storing everything that i must have with me. Patriot rebate arrived quick. Extremely fast shipping arrived a day earlier than i thought it would.

Cons: None - competitive price on Newegg as well.

Pros: Excellent, sturdy construction. It's been used often & still going strong.

Cons: The rubber cap can be easily lost and I lost it within a week. The rubber casing is a bit much and limits your ability to use adjacent USB ports (on my laptop its tight) The included USB cable is a work around but annoying enough that it prevents me from giving this drive a solid 5 star rating.

Pros: 'Fast' read and write speeds and large space at a great price point, IMO a great deal. Enough other users have posted speed data so I wont post the same. I use this with portable apps and note a marked improvement over a competitive flash drive claiming the same read/write speeds.

Cons: not that i can think of.

Pros: solid, fast, rubber case with a well fitted cap, and a nice blinky blue light.16,000,000,000 bytes = 14.9GB

Cons: 13.4MB/sec or 107MBps write speed.

Pros: 14.9GiB of space. Reasonable write speeds

Cons: Price :/

Pros: Fast write speeds and faster read speeds.

Cons: easy to loose cap (already lost).not as fast as expected- I have a 3 year old Apacer HT203 2GB which was the fastest back in the day- the new one does not feel any faster. I was looking forward to slightly faster

Pros: 16 GB- you do not need to delete stuff just to get something on it.inexpensive after the rebate.

Cons: Not designed for a key chainCap will get lost

Pros: Very fast transfer rates on NTFS and FAT32Rugged shell

Cons: NONE

Pros: Fast, tons of storage. Actually 16gig of space formatted at FAT32...16.01Gb on my MacBookPro.

Cons: Size, it's just slightly too bulky and Kingston/Patriot was definately able to slim it down but didn't.BTW this is a Kingston drive in case you didn't know!

Pros: This drive is extremely fast, I know that because I actually tested the speeds. Nearly all the reviewers of this drive have very little understanding when they post their speeds for instance: "my speeds in vista".Anyways I tried many different formats to get the best speeds and formatting to exFAT @ 128MB's put me in the 6th highest (16gb) write ranking using USBdeview.My speeds:WRITE: 17.38MB/S 15-18 RealREAD: 31.01MB/S 30-32 RealThis drive slaughters everything out there and it's cheap.Also speeds in FAT32 (64KB) are:Write: 14-16MB/SRead: 30MB/S14.9GB Actual

Cons: Sucks that it's so fat.

Pros: Works great, nice capacity.

Cons: if there has to be a con its the lanyard its like a shoelace and looks out of place on such a sharp looking drive.

Pros: Great speed and durable for the price Ive owned many thumb drives and this is by far the best and the price was amazing.

Cons: Price is high for 16 Gb

Pros: This has to be the fastest jump drive that I have ever used. Used the USB format tool from Microsoft to install Windows 7 from USB and it formated the drive, copied the files over in under 5 minutes. I have other drives that took from 15-25 for a 4Gb and over an hour for an 8Gb drive.
