This review is from: Patriot Xporter XT Boost 8GB Flash Drive (USB 2.0 Portable) Model PEF8GUSB

Pros:

Was fast and tough.

Cons:

After a few months of light usage it started to develop problems connecting to my computer. Over the further course of time the speed dropped by a significant amount and now it barely connects; I usually have to plug it and disconnect around ten times till it's recognized.

Overall Review:

Wouldn't spend this much again on a USB2 stick that dies so fast.

This is the second flash based product in a row I bought from Patriot that was bad; the first was an SD card that came with the 'Lock' switch broken off and stuck in lock position, meaning that I couldn't even use the darn card.

Patriot has some serious QA issues that need looking into.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Chillin,

I'm sorry to hear that you had some issues with our Xporter XT Boost Flash Drive. If you have any issues at all in regards to the product, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail and I'll be glad to assist you in the matter.

Regards,
Benjamin
