Patriot Memory Supersonic Rage Prime USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive - 500GB - PEF500GRPMW32U

Good one buy, no need to worry

Amazing read and write speeds

Already tried it on 2 different laptops, Mac and Windows, and the device is not recognized. Like the computer doesn't completely react when it's plugged in. Waste of time and money.

Still working with me.

Purchased to use as removable backup for my music files, which currently sits at about 185GB of total music files. DO NOT purchase if you do not have SSD / NVMe drives in your computer, HDD's are much to slow to take advantage of this thumb drive transfer speeds. I see some reviews showing VERY low transfer speeds..... transfer speed is from one drive to another drive and will be limited by the slowest factor - transfer from a HDD being the biggest, bad or low quality cable, faulty USB port, etc....I transferred one of my music folders from my Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD drive over to the thumb drive (see attached image) over 80GB of files in 4 minutes 8 seconds - that's over 330MB/sec average transfer speed.This thumb drive appears to have a some amount of super-speed transfer cache as the first 20 seconds of transfer was pegged at a little over 1GB/sec. You can see the effect of this by cranking the test size of Crystal Disk Mark up to 64GiB. Even then this drive is still posting impressive numbers for what it is.If speed is the only concern, Kingston DataTraveler Max 256GB drive hits peak speeds of 1GB/sec, while the Patriot RAGE is only 250GB (232GB capacity in Windows), hits 600MB/sec, and is $8 more than the Kingston, so value wise I cannot give it a 5, but it's so much smaller / portable / convenient than the Kingston.Because of the much more portable form factor, I would definitely recommend this drive over the Kingston DataTraveler Max.

Looks great and is a good size. So far, I have no problems. The drive is fast and has worked perfectly out of the box.

I've had several Patriot Rage flash drives and I've always been very happy with them, as they are super fast and last forever. It's incredible how fast they've gotten - I am getting 550MB/s up down AND up. I'm very happy with this one and I expect it'll last a long time like the others. I'll also mention that my old ones have slowed down a little over time (as they do) but not by a significant amount. A great buy.

This USB stick works well, and is super fast. do not expect to transfer 100's of gigs at a time because it will heat up. I do like it and it does what it says

I've always been satisfied with Patriot flash drives and this one is no exception ! Since it's a gen 2 version (gen 3 is faster), the price interested me; 1T for $100 is quite good; I put it to the test for 12 consecutive hours and all went well; it was barely lukewarm, not hot at all, the speed is satisfactory; I'm mostly interested in reliability, longevity and accuracy, I"m very satisfied with this 1T drive; it's not as fancy looking as the more recent Patriot Rage 512 Gb with the soft rubber like casing but it looks and feels solid, so it's a good purchase.
