5 out of 5 eggsWashingmachine friendly

Pros: Great lil flash drive. Its fast, reliable and rugged. I left it in my pants as it went through the washer and dryer and it made it through without a hitch

Patriot is a very good company who cares about their customers :)

Cons: The cover tends to slip off easily after some time, but patriot is very good about sending new usb drive covers. Didnt even have to pay shipping :)

5 out of 5 eggsR.I.P

Pros: Fast. Very reliable.

Cons: cap design. Very easy to lose

Other Thoughts: Finally died after 3 or 4 years. I Never once had to format (other than the first time) I ran java and c++ applications when i developed them. I would open them on different machines. I would write/rewrite THOUSANDS of times a day. I had movies, music, you name it. I am ordering another today.

5 out of 5 eggsI recommend it, good drive.

Pros: This is a good device. I am Graduate student in Mechanical Engineering and it is important for me to have a durable and reliable drive. It is slightly larger than other drives I have owned in the past but that is to be expected since it is shock and water resistant. It's performed as expected and is light weight.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have not used it with the lanyard that it came with, I just keep it in my pocket.
Haven't had a problem with the cap falling off.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Flash

Pros: Mine has met my needs flawlessly during a year of heavy usage. It's the fastest one I could get (200X), very rugged, and still reasonably priced. Based on my great experience with this product, I just ordered the 16GB version of the Patriot Xporter from newegg.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I decided speed and reliability were more important to me than small size. The Patriot Xporter is not tiny, but for me it's just right. I have another flash that's really tiny and it's actually too small (i.e. too easy to forget that it's in my pocket when I toss my pants in the laundry; if I drop it, I don't hear it hit the floor).

5 out of 5 eggsVery nice drive

Pros: Light, Inexpensive, high capacity, durable, dim light, nice case.

Cons: a little bulky, but not bad enough to take an egg off. it is shock/water resistant, so the bulkiness should be assumed

Other Thoughts: This drive has worked wonders.
Works perfect with Win7x64, winXP, Mac OS 10, and linux.

Would recommend this to anyone needing a flash drive

4 out of 5 eggsAlmost Perfect

Pros: Fast, lots of storage, durable, inexpensive, unobtrusive light, lanyard ring

Cons: A little bulky for fitting next to other USB connectors, Cap isn't attached and could be (will be!) lost.

Other Thoughts: This is a good flash drive, especially for the price. It would be a *great* flash drive if it was retractable or the cap was attached somehow, and if the body was a bit slimmer for fitting next to other USB cables. The cap does fit on top of the lanyard connector, but it's still pretty easy to lose.
