Introduction

Indeed for those who are regularly visiting we haven't had the chance to work with Patriot Memory but that has recently changed. As such we are now lucky to be included in what is happening on the memory front which is quite exciting due to the bigger and faster products getting released as USB flash drives and also the solid state drives. But do you all really know Patriot Memory, as we doubt it a bit although lately they have become one of the leading companies when it comes to memory products. Their mission is simple, and this is to be the vendor of choice for the computer and consumer electronic industries with a commitment to service and quality. And that is exactly what they have been doing over the last few years, building up a strong service with high quality products and as such becoming a choice for many out there looking for memory related hardware.

These USB flash drives from Patriot give you all the power and performance you need to transfer, store and share your pictures, music, video and data. With a wide variety to choose from and capacities reaching 64GB, you can literally take everything with you. And these various Patriot USB flash drives let you move your data with ease. In fact it wasn't that long ago that we all got excited about 2GB and 4GB pen drives, though as flash memory continued to develop and become cheaper, we continually saw improvements in the amount of storage space we see in portable devices. And we do recall the days that 32GB was really the top model for most manufacturers, which has been recently topped of by doubling up to 64GB of storage in a single flash pen drive. With Patriot continues to push the boundaries by releasing one of these first high performance 64GB extreme USB flash drives in a very robust stylish design.

The package that is used by Patriot is quite standard and somehow the usual for these types of products. We have seen that most of these types of products are coming in a plastic package with the main focus on the flash memory itself and some nice colors to stand out in the crowd. The Patriot Memory package is no different really though it is very attractive and so you will certainly notice it while visiting your local store or favorite web shop. And although it doesn't mention too much on the front of the package the main items of importance are clearly visible being that it is a 64GB large pen drive that is fully certified for Windows Vista and with ultra high read speed. The other point that will go noticed is the name of the product itself as Xporter Magnum, and this magnum reference does make us somehow take our mind of things and longing for some champagne.

Their color scheme is well chosen, fitting well with the actual Xporter Magnum flash drive itself. Some kind of a flame, a burning fire which will always attract people in a certain way. And that is really what you need to achieve, getting the attention and you are already halfway done. On that aspect the package does really do that and with the main features nicely highlighted that should swing over the potential buyer to just grab one while they can. The 64GB storage is really the main point that will attract many that are looking for a flash drive that can hold a bit and that needs to be durable. The durable aspect is important as well though Patriot is not mentioning anything about it on the front of the package, although you can already see it somehow by just looking at their USB flash drive.

Upon turning the package we get an all red looking back with some details and features in rather small lettering. We somehow wonder why it has to be so small as these are very nice features, but the main language being English does list the features slightly bigger in black, while the eight languages are smaller printed in white. On this side Patriot Memory does focus on the performance aspect, with giving the transfer rate showing the clear difference with the more standard USB flash drives and their Xporter Magnum drive version. And yes, the difference in performance is huge, and they claim over four times the normal transfer rate all the way up to 210x speeds. Further down we also notice the lifetime warranty offered on this Xporter Magnum USB flash drive, which is certainly a great added value which can come in handy at times.
