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:
