Pros: Laptop: Dell e6410 w/ NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Express Card. Tested w/ Check Flash 1.16.2 [ Read speeds avg 115mb, write speeds avg 60mb] I was looking for a slim drive that does the job, spent a lot of time researching and preferred this drive over the Patriot Xporter XT. 5 year warranty is phenomenal.

Cons: I love the Sandisk Contour Cruzer with its smooth slide/ capless design. However, being in the IT industry for the past 10+ years, I cannot sacrifice performance for convenience. The flash drive does get VERY warm, {hottest flash drive I have EVER enountered} but that does not seem to interfere in any way with its performance or burn. Just strange for a flash drive to get that warm in my opinion. Also, recently my flash drive was acting funny, and one of the flash chips died on me leaving me with only 16GB instead of the 32GB. Going through the RMA process was a breeze, and Patriot send me a BRAND NEW drive very quickly in BRAND NEW packaging etc. Very satisfied with the RMA process and quality of the drive. Makes me kind of scared to trust my DATA to an SSD drive....

Overall Review: I need performance, believe me I got it at a very reasonable price with my Patriot Drive.
