Patriot Memory Supersonic RageXT 32 GB USB 3.0

Darksaber · Sep 8, 2012

Patriot has released an updated version of the Rage drive that offers up to 180 MB/s read and 50 MB/s write in a small & compact package. We take a closer look to find out if the Rage XT is like Speedy Gonzales, or ends up huffin' and puffin' through the benchmarks.

nice review, thanks! but seriously, you should take a look at sandisk extreme usb3 32gb/64gb, the write speed is awesome, touching 100Mbps and above!

Sasqui · Nov 5, 2012

The write speeds are really dissapointing, close to USB 2.0 limits. Probably should have dinged more for that.

Nice review!

However, I was wondering wether you could include things like random read/write in there if possible. It would be nice to see how a drive like this would perform with for an instance windows8's new portable function and stuff.

Just a suggestion

Actually a great suggestion.

Indeed. I am looking at a USB 3.0 stick for a Linux boot drive for my main m-itx rig.

Corsair sent me a 64GB drive to review for newegg and its much faster, and cheaper on sale.

comparison to sandisk extreme usb3.0 flashdrive

take a look at this. this is an amazing product. the 64gb version is even better.

USB 3.0 has so much potential for high speed USB data storage. I have so many USB 2.0 SD cards/readers/thumb drives and as much as I am interested in buying a USB 3.0 drive like the Patriot RAGE I feel like waiting for something faster. USB 3.0 speed is so much faster then this.
