Patriot 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model PSF2GMUSB(Green)

Pros: It works right and never gave me any technical problems.

Cons: It came out of it's plastic casing. The sides must have pressure put on them when removing it now. Not a big deal considering the price.

Other Thoughts: I've had this for four years. Now that flash drive prices in general have gone down so much, you might want to look at a different Patriot flash drive.

Pros: Awesome drive - even washer proof !

Cons: NONE!

Pros: I ordered two different kinds of these but like this one best. This one lights up when data is transferring, sort of like a hard drive light. It works great in Linux but no surprise there. The thing I like most and that sets it apart from others is the lighting up part.

Cons: Needs a "this side up" for me. Never can tell which way to flip it to plug it in. I put a mark on it with a magic marker. That helps.

Other Thoughts: It's pretty small. 43mm long x 19mm wide x 10mm thick. It also has a little hole for a key ring too. The cap is easy to get off but it doesn't come off by itself either. Well made to be so cheap.

Pros: The size is much smaller than the usual stick. Very nice size. The whole thing is rubber so I don't have to worry so much if it travels with a bunch of keys or if I happen to drop it (it bounces too). The cap has a very nice grip and isn't a pain to take off. You can even mount it on top of the back, sort of. The light on the inside of the back is a nice touch since it lights up through the translucent rubber with a nice and obvious red easily notifying you of activity.

And thank you for putting the size in an easy to read good sized readable font. Also, very cute design.

Cons: Not really a big deal, but maybe if they put the key chain hole on the cap (or have it on both sides so we can choose) then I can put it with some keys and slide it off the cap to use and not drag the keys with me. The cap has a nice grip so I'd doubt it will ever fall off if transported in this fashion. Perhaps the back could be more cap storage friendly by making it square (still having the hole just in case). It still is very good as it is even without these two missing features.

Other Thoughts: I know it's not a real benchmark, but as a quick note I did a copy paste of 1GB of music files and it took 2 minutes the second, same, usb took 2 minutes and 15 seconds. An old Sandisk Cruzer Micro 2GB stick of mine did the same files in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Not a bad upgrade for the cost in my shoes.

Pros: Simple blank thumb drive without extra software that it wants you to install.

Works great.

Compact design that can get even smaller if you slide of the rubber casing.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: The rubber casing is a bit neon for my taste, but at least you know it's your thumb drive.

Pros: Small and cheap. Works.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Good for moving audio files to car stereo. You can remove the casing and cover the LED with electrical tape so it isn't a distraction.

Pros: -Rubber casing protects it from damage.
-Small, but not too small.
-Reliable brand.
-Good price.
-Pretty good read/write speeds.

Cons: -Could be lost because of its smallness.

Other Thoughts: I am planning on using this drive for school, so I will mostly be storing documents. It came in the mail today, and it seems great so far. Came in only 4 days with $1 egg saver shipping.

Pros: + Small size- Fits comfortably into pockets
+ Good capacity- I primarily use it to tote around documents, occasional music files.
+ Rather squishy
+ Reasonably fast for for copying to and out of

Cons: - Small size- Could be easily lost or broken

Other Thoughts: I wasn't looking for anything fancy, but I didn't want anything terrible either. So I did my research. What I can tell you is Patriot is very good when it comes to flash drives. Just look at the Xporter series.

Nothing that bad about the drive. I would say, though, that it is not good for playing music off of. At least, it's not good for FLAC files. Good for small, portable applications, though.

Pros: Does what it's suppose to. Got it for free with a deal.

Cons: Would have liked it if it came with a keychain hook or something, but I dunno, probably wouldn't put it with my keys anyways.

Other Thoughts: Someone said they bounce when they fall, and so I dropped mine just to see it bounce and sure enough it bounce right back into my hand like a magic trick. Amazing!

Pros: Size was the most attractive feature. It's nice and short. The case is nice, it has a nice feel and grip. Performance wise it seems to be about the same as other USB flash drives I've owned. For the price Newegg is selling it for, it's an unbeatable value.

Cons: The only con is the very bright LED when it's working. I'm guessing some like it, but the main reason I picked this drive is because it was short, and I'm using it in the front USB port of my car radio. In this case, the shorter the better as it sticks out at you. The LED is distracting, however. It constantly flashes red as the radio reads the drive. Flashing red light on the dashboard, not good. Maybe a blue LED would be better?

Other Thoughts: It would be nice if they offered this drive without the LED. It's really not necessary to have it. It looks like you could carefully pry off the cover and dab some black paint in the bottom, then after drying, put the cover back on to block the LED light from showing. Anyway, can't complain at all due to the price, which was a wicked bargain.
