  • Abstract:  If purchased more than a year or two ago, there's a good chance that your current desktop doesn't have USB 3.0. The chances of it having a PCI Express x1 slot, however, are much greater (the tech has been around since 2003). Installing an add-on card...

  • The Patriot Supersonic Magnum 128GB is the best example of a compact high-speed large-capacity storage device that we have seen. The ability to read data at 200MB/s is incredible for a thumb drive, while the 120MB/s write performance is also very impre...

  • The Patriot SuperSonic Magnum is an impressive USB stick alright. Nothing about it is complicated, pop it into a USB 3.0 host and you are good to go.Like any traditional USB Flash disk, write performance will be severely limited when you are dealing with...

  • Noticeably faster than advertised, 130 MB/s read, 80 MB/s write, Excellent USB 2.0 performance, Fairly compact size for a quad-channel USB 3.0 device, 5 year warranty, Rugged metal casing, Red activity LED
  • Separate cap means that you can misplace it, No extras included, People may mistake it for a USB 2.0 drive
  • Well, the Patriot Supersonic may not turn any heads in regards to its looks. For those not in the know, the drive may be mistaken for a plain, traditional USB 2.0 drive due to its size and shape. But as soon as you realize the unit is intended for the ...

  • SSDlike speed in your pocket, No drivers or annoying software, Massive storage in your pocket, Inherent Flash resistance to damage
  • Fairly pricey per GB, Default formatting is FAT32 for compatibility, Large size makes some USB ports unusable
  • Well what can I say here? The Patriot Supersonic Magnum literally wiped the floor with the comparison drives. That's not a real surprise since I only had USB 2.0 drives on-hand to compare it with – but that's a bit of a good thing I think. Anyone looking ...

  • Abstract:  'Appearance versus reality' is one of my favorite things to write about when I studied English Language Arts IB back in high school. Unlike most topics people like to study in literature, this actually applies to our daily lives just as much as what we...

  • As of late many manufacturers have stepped up their game in the flash drive business offering higher capacity, high performance drives utilizing controllers with 8-channel technology. One such company is Patriot with their new line-up of Supersonic Ma...

  • Great read and write speeds for a USB stick. Still manages to be slim vertically
  • About one and a half times wider than a typical stick, so may block ports when plugged in. Expect to pay for the privilege
  • All flash drives are not created equal, something proven by the Magnum. If you want capacity and performance in a USB stick, this one's a very good choice indeed....

  • Abstract:  We tested 42 USB 3.0 memory sticks with a storage capacity of at least 32 GB. As one might have expected, transfer speeds vary greatly, ranging from painfully slow to lightning fast. Which one should you buy? Around two years ago, when we last perfor...
