Survives Incredible Abuse and Really FAST
By John M. Wells
The Patriot XT flash drives are the best for speed and reliability. I move tons of data (documents, graphics and photos) to my flash drives, and after I make changes to some of the data, I copy to the flash drive again (replace existing folder), several times a day moving multiple gigs of data (obviously hard on the drive, but I don't know a better way to save my work. And, really I care much more about saving work that I put thousands of hours into, than I care about a flash drive. I can always buy a new drive, but I can't get my work (data) back if it is lost.I know that my use is hard on the drives and I have killed many flash. So, to be careful, I back up onto several flash drives, plus a Maxtor External hard drive. I have tried many different brands and Patriot XT drives (XT Boost and XT Rage) are by far the best. Remember, I have killed many flash drives, but I have never had any problems with any Patriot drives. Also, I have never had a problem with any PNY drives.But the Patriot XT drives are MUCH FASTER, so I am gradually switching to only Patriot drives.The other fact you should know about speed is that the smaller drives are faster, I just tested a Patriot XT Boost 4GB, Patriot XT Boost 8GB, Patriot XT Boost 16GB, Patriot XT Rage 16 GB along with a PNY 8GB and a PNY 16 GB by moving 3GB (one folder containing thousands of documents) of data onto each drive. The Patriot drives are all much faster than the PNY drives, and the Patriot XT Rage is faster than the Patriot XT Boost, but within each brand the smaller drive consistently beat the larger ones in speed. So save your money and buy the smallest drive that will meet your needs. When you grow out of the drive, there will be new ones on the market that will be better and less expensive.Bottom line: I am buying more Patriot XT Rage flash drives.

By Michael Andrew Streib
Construction seems fairly good. I can't comment on the little keyring hole as the other reviewer did. I don't find those holes large enough on most drives to actually use on a normal keyring.The drive is fast though, and performs at the peak of usb 2.0 drives, and that's one measure that is important to USB sticks in everyday use if you're copying around large enough files to justify having a 16GB drive.Sequential file test, using test size of 2GB, 4MB at a time, within a 14.5GB test file.Iteration 1: writing...11.8MB/sec, reading...35.4MB/secIteration 2: writing...11.9MB/sec, reading...36.7MB/secIteration 3: writing...12.0MB/sec, reading...36.8MB/secIteration 4: writing...12.0MB/sec, reading...36.7MB/secIteration 5: writing...11.8MB/sec, reading...36.7MB/sec

By Jason Ralsky
Prior to purchasing the XT Rage, I owned three USB 2.0 Sticks. The USB 2.0 sticks are by HP and Corsair (8GB and 1GB/8GB). I was not happy with the performance of the HP stick, and my Corsair was just too small for my needs so I figured I'd give the XT Rage a shot. I was skeptical about the 25MB/s WRITE speed but boy did Patriot prove me wrong!-- I purchased a Patriot Xporter XT Rage 8GB stick --** DESIGN **First off the design of the Flash Drive is GOOD quality in my book. Unlike the Corsair Voyager(which is EXCELLENT quality), this casing feels a little cheaper; made of a plastic shell stuck together. Despite being a bit cheaper than other brands, it indeed is "drop proof" and has survived a few drops I've done with it, even tossing it down a staircase. Spill proof I did not test due to the design of the case(See below).This is the first USB stick I've owned that doesn't require a cap. The stick itself is only 2 inches long, and has a retractable head that protects the connector portion. This is a fantastic design as no more lost caps! It is sleek and when closed doesn't randomly open up when in your pocket. When retracted the cover snaps against the back and will not randomly try to close back up. It is a spectacular design that many companies should emulate, except I have just one small gripe. *** The reason I did not do a spill test is because, while the casing itself is VERY solid there is no actual "cover" for the connector head. A few customer images already show that the front of the stick is flush to the casing but left "exposed". Without even doing the test, This is a FAILURE in my book. The inside of the connector is exposed to liquid during a spill, so be very careful with the stick around liquids.** KEY-CHAIN HOLE / ACTIVITY LIGHT **Some say that this does not have an Activity light. This is not true, as the light does have an LED activity light. Patriot chose to use a RED LED instead of the standard Blue. The activity light location however is subject to bafflement. It seems as if the cap-free sleek design had some flaws. Mainly the connector head mouth being exposed and the LED activity light being located INSIDE the key-chain hole. That's right! The light is inside the key-chain hole. They use a low intensity red LED so even in a pitch black room the LED is not very visible (but it is there).The Key-Chain hole itself is very durable. In fact feels more durable than the corsair voyager one. In testing the key-chain hole held up exceptionally well but has one major downside. Using the key-chain hole will block the LED light. Meaning if you have this on a string, you barely will see the LED light (if you could at all). So once again we have a great design with a flaw in it.** PERFORMANCE **Now for the MEAT of the review. Performance. What makes this USB flash stick better than the others? For testing I decided to real world benchmark vs using a benchmark tool, after all people want to see real world use not some program using random data. I tested my HP 8GB stick, my Corsair 1GB and the Patriot 8GB Rage XT; WRITE SPEEDS ONLY -- Please note that the larger the stick, the slower it becomes when writing. A 1GB stick should be faster than an 8GB stick using the same controller --** WRITE PERFORMANCE ** (All sticks formatted as FAT 32, 32kb file allocation; tested on Windows Vista 64bit).. Minimum - Maximum speed... Sustained WRITE speed in []VERY LARGE Single File (780 MB)HP(8GB): 2.5 - 5.8 MB/s [4.7]Corsair: 2.8 - 6.1 MB/s [5.6]Corsair(8GB): 7.1 - 12.3 MB/s [9.4]XT Rage: 8.8 - 16.1 MB/s [14.7]LARGE Single File(170 MB)HP(8GB): 3.1 - 5.3 MB/s [4.1]Corsair: 5.7 - 8.3 MB/s [6.4]Corsair(8GB): 6.4 - 13.1 MB/s [8.5]XT Rage: 14.5 - 25.3 MB/s [17.1]MEDIUM Single File (60 MB)HP(8GB): 4.0 - 6.0 MB/s [5.7]Corsair: 4.9 - 6.4 MB/s [5.4]Corsair(8GB): 5.4 - 7.6 MB/s [6.1]XT Rage: 9.0 - 12.1 MB/s [10.5]SMALL Single File (5 MB; slow speeds are related to the caching of the file.

This is because the XT Rage has a Quad Channel design for Read/Write tasks allowing it to process the data much faster than a normal USB stick. As you can see when it came to large files, the XT Rage absolutely devoured them, even hitting over 25MB/s which was the advertised speed. If you notice, as the # of files go up and the file size gets smaller the speed of the drive starts to really slow down. This is because so many small files are passing through rather than one large file that gets cached as it goes. The important factor is just how much faster the XT Rage is when it comes to very large file sizes. The Quad Channel performance gets to flex its muscles and it shows.OVERALLI highly recommend this USB stick. It can achieve close to the 25MB/s advertised rate with every day performance, and moves large files incredibly fast. This is the perfect stick for someone who needs to move very large files 500MB or larger. It boasts 8GB - 64GB in size and has a very solid design to it that makes the stick easy to transport. With a cap-free design there is no more risk of losing the cap and exposing the Connector Head to damage, however the device is not spill proof(unlike others). A poorly placed activity light also hurts its appeal but do not hurt it enough to compromise the rating of this drive.This easily is the fastest USB 2.0 drive I have owned. It is quality and has held up exceptional well during testing like a good quality product should. Easily able to leave other USB 2.0 sticks in the dust for large file sizes; and outperforming a competitive 8 GB stick in bulk small file transfers, this stick has both Outstanding Performance while maintaining a very fair asking price. 5 stars!!** NOTE: This stick has a 5 year warranty** NOTE: This stick also supports Ready Boost
