Patriot Slate 3.0 128GB USB Flash Drive Model PSF128GLSS3USB

Pros: USB 3.0, Nice light blue color makes it easy to find on a cluttered desk.

Cons: I purchased two of these, the first one I had to format before I could use it. Although are USB 3.0, they don't seem to be quite as fast as other 3.0 flash drives I've used.

Overall Review: All in all, if I could get them a decent price I would still buy another one, but if I could get a name brand like Kingston for a dollar or two more I would probably go that route.

Pros: cheap, 32 gb, it works.

Cons: Very slow, i'm talking usb 2.0 speeds My fastest clock was 11 mb/s

Overall Review: if you want cheap usb 3.0 look elsewhere there are way better options out there. Only reason it isn't being returned is because it isn't worth the shipping. i give it 2 eggs only because it works.

Pros: NONE

Cons: DOA - Drive detected but will not format on any of my 4 computers.

Pros: 128 GB

Cons: GET VERY HOT OVER 119 DEG AFTER ONLY 3MIN AND FREEZE THEN START AND CYCLE OVER AND AGAIN

Overall Review: WILL NOT BUY AGAIN

Pros: Price

Cons: Bought two of these. Slow performance and boot are dead in less that 1 year. Lost all my data. Very disappointed.

Pros: Inexpensive, decent construction. Good for smaller file storage/transfer.

Cons: The drive is very slow. I copied a 38 gig VM file in 30 minutes. You do the math. Same file with Samsung SSD in an external USB 3 case, 2 minutes.

Overall Review: I read where others complained about how difficult it was to get the cap off. Well, it's not difficult, and it's by design. You need to squeeze the thin sides of the drive and pull. If you look closely, there's a small latch on the inside of wider side. So if you press there, you're closing the latch tighter.

Pros: Good price for such a large capacity. A small form factor that doesn't block adjacent USB ports. The read speeds are great, it sustains 80+ MB/s without too much trouble.

Cons: This drive writes S-L-O-W. I often don't get more than 5 MB/s out of a sustained write (one big file). Furthermore, in the process of writing, it gets very hot as well. I fear it will shorten the life of the drive.

Overall Review: This drive is decent if you want to store a lot of data and you don't need to write quickly. I knew that this would likely be the case when the vendor failed to give any specs on read/write. I will definitely not buy drives from Patriot (or others) again if they don't give read/write speeds.

Pros: 3.0

Cons: I had to rma first drive. I don't know how long the replacement will last. The drive gets very warm.
