Rapid And Rugged
Amazingly fast transfer speed. Simply plug it in and save - it's as easy as that. I was astonished to watch my music collection transfer into the XT at around 4 seconds per album! Included is a tough white lanyard with handy plastic clip with which to easily attach and remove the Patriot XT. This wonderful device has hung around my neck on hot sweaty train journeys and even to a festival - and still works perfectly thanks to its durable rubber housing. The rubber cap is not physically tied to the XT's body but has never shown the slightest sign of slipping off. This is a well thought-out product which I would highly recommend.

Tough, Rubbery and swift portable storage.
Swift, quick little 16GB memory stick with loads of capacity, I have used
it for transferring files from one PC to another multiple times and I have had faultfree use during the 3 weeks I have owned it.

It has to be said that in terms of value for money, 8GB is generally
the sweet spot for USB sticks at present - (Patriot do, 1, 2, 4, 8 and even 32 GB versions of this product also)

Patriot is not a well known make in the UK but they have a reputation
abroad for making fast rock solid PC memory for overclocking so I thought I would give them a go.

If you want to transfer any files beyond 4GB size, though you will need to re-format it to NTFS rather than the Fat32 with which it arrives.

Even with Fat32 formatting it is easily the quickest USB stick I have yet
owned and provides buckets of space for under £50.00

(It will also work even quicker with NTFS)

The only small caveat is the protective rubber cap for the usb plug
could have been a bit tighter.

The rubber casing is pleasantly tactile and provides a good practical
protection against dropping - it just bounces! -Recommended !

Great stuff
Does everything it says it would. Both computers I use it on find it immediately and download is seriously fast. Whay does anyone bother with burning discs anymore?! For a non-IT junkie I still find it amazing that you can carry around so much memory in a small stick. Great value - buy one...
