For the price it's a winner!
Pros: Simple to use. CHEAP!
Cons: Manual is a joke. [translated this manual like looks works. but, drift you get.] <- The expectation you should have of the manual.
Overall Review: Wow, this is a !great! tester for the price! The only complaints are that the power switch feels like your going break it when you "slide" it to the ON or "S" (slow) position. You don't need the HORRIBLY translated manual to use it. Worth the price, YOU BET!
FAST and Reliable
Pros: RELIABLE and very fast. Tested on an ASUS Rage III Extreme Motherboard w/ Intel i780x processor. aka Beast! I experienced sustained 23-27MB/sec writes. Reads are even better. Size of the rubber jacket does not interfere with placing another adjacent to another Patriot thumb drive both in horizontal or vertical USB placements.
Cons: USB2 vs USB3 performance does not differ much. Maybe because this is by far the fastest USB thumb drive I ever owned.
Overall Review: Product feels like a quality product. Patriot is now my only provider for Thumb Drives.
