Patriot Xporter XT Boost High Speed 16GB USB2.0 Flash Memory Drive Water & Shock Resistant
Cons: Durability on this thing is a joke, after having it for only one month I now have to wiggle the thing for a while before the computer reads it. I never swung it around or purposely hit anything with the flashdrive either.
Pros: Really fast, worked perfectly while it lasted |

Patriot Xporter XT Boost High Speed 16GB USB2.0 Flash Memory Drive Water & Shock Resistant
Cons:TOO SLOW
Pros:I like the rubber cover but it look very big. Comment:
I bought this for a day and I try to do some speed test on it. It is very slow USB drive. It only have around 8-10MB/second for writing speed. It is very SLOW. I have a A-DATA 4G high speed USB drive. It can do 16MB/second for writing. I don't knwo why people said it is a fast USB drive. I am not happy with the speed for this USB drive. |

Worth every penny
Cons: None
Pros: Faster than other flash drives i used, while still keeping it cheap. Extremely durable. Comment:
The reason i say extremely durable is that it was hit in just the spot where the USB connector bent into a 45 degree angle. I bent it back, and squeezed it together to make sure it was fine, and then checked it. No damage done at all! |

Good usb stick while it lasted
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. Comment:
Good drive while it last but was hoping for a stronger drive then something that cracked as easily as this.. Especially when the files were all that's left of a reformatted hard drive. Still waiting on support from Patriots system.... Manufacturer Response:Dear Ramze, Thank you for choosing Patriot Memory. We apologize for the inconvenience that this matter has caused you. The fact that the usb drive cracked upon use is quite unusual. Please don't hesitate to contact support@patriotmem.com for any technical questions you may have regarding your issue.Kind Regards,Patriot Memory Support Team External Link(s): Patriot Memory Support Forums| |

Very Nice Jump Drive
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. Comment:
I love it, use it a lot! |

Extremely Capable Flash Drive
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. Comment:
1. People talking about about the drive being listed as only having "14.9 GB" and claiming shenanigans don't realize that drive manufacturers typically count 1 kilobyte as being 1000 bytes, where most of the rest of the computing world consider 1 kilobyte to be 1024 bytes. This discrepancy has existed for a very long time. You are not a victim of kilobyte thieves; this stone ran out of blood decades ago.2. People who reformatted and are now experiencing speed problems: be forewarned that the drive comes from the factory with a 64k block size. Your OS will probably reformat it with a 4k or 8k block size by default, depending on filesystem type. As a result, your write and read speeds are going to suffer under certain circumstances.3. My packaging bore a logo claiming "New and Improved Ultra High 200x Read Speed!". So an older revision of the drive might not have the same performance statistics. |

Works fine
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 Comment:

Great USB stick but watch the rebate
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? Comment:
Patriot declined my rebate submission. I submit rebates all the time and know the drill. I guess I'll have to file a complaint. Unfortunately for them, I'm the sort that keeps scanned copies of everything. Companies love when Attorneys General come knocking, right? ;-) |

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

Great speed/space at a nice price point
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. Comment:

Pleased
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 Comment:

Not that fast.
Cons: 13.4MB/sec or 107MBps write speed.
Pros: 14.9GiB of space. Reasonable write speeds Comment:
It's a good pen drive, nice and large, but don't be fooled by the silly 200x performance 200x of what? A floppy drive? Manufacturer Response:Dear Faber,Please be aware that any advertised speeds is the maximum obtained speeds, not the overall sustained speeds. Furthermore each user's system speed will vary due to the components in their system. Size of files and amount of files transferred will also effect the speeds of transfers. Please don't hesitate to contact support@patriotmem.com if you have any further questions or issues with your drive.Regards,Patriot Memory Support Team |

a good inexpensive flash drive
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. Comment:
Size is no longer issue for USB drives speed is. Buy the fastest one you can afford. The difference between these drives is huge. This one is upper class but not as great as the specs suggest. |

Full speed ahead
Cons: Not designed for a key chainCap will get lost
Pros: Very fast transfer rates on NTFS and FAT32Rugged shell Comment:
I purchased this for transferring very large files (8gb+) and after reading some of the reviews it surprised me how fast it transfers formatted on NTFS. I get faster write speeds on NTFS than FAT32 with any allocation size, and the rates are a steady 18.0 MB/s formatted on NTFS with 64kilobyte unit allocation size, which is perfect. |

Fast Delivery. NewEgg always a good choice. |

Best bang for the buck
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 Comment:
This is a great FD and many of the reviewers don't do it justice because they just don't understand. |

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