When you’re buying a flash drive you care about storage space, speed and reliability. I’ve chosen to review the Patriot Xporter XT Rage series because it performs well on all of those factors.

Storage: Gone are the days of a 1GB flash drive costing a hundred dollars. Now for the same price you get 64 gigs of storage in the same size. This means that you might even replace your larger hard drive with one the size of your thumb.

Speed: Up to 27MB/s read and 25MB/s write transfer speeds. Reviews I’ve read have raved at the speeds the Patriot Xporter provides. This item is available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models and generally the smaller the drive the faster the speed.

Durability: The rubber coating on the housing makes it more durable to drops and improves the grip. It makes the device easy to hold and less likely to slip off a desk and fall. The retractable USB connector is a nice touch, as the USB connector is protected while not in use. It’s a creative way of not needing a cover.

Portable flash drives are very popular. In flash memory no power is needed to maintain the information stored in the chip, making them very stable storage devices. Since they have no moving parts, they handle drops better too.

The Corsair 128GB Flash Voyager GT device is even more rugged. It has a rubber housing making it water-resistant and virtually shockproof. This 128GB USB flash drive provides large storage capacities in a very small form. It is easily
transported. Convenience is an important criteria, especially for consumer and corporate applications.

A 128GB flash drive can hold a surprising amount of data: like documents, movies, mp3s, pictures, even software programs. The 128GB Flash Voyager GT is perfect for those who need to access large amount of data in a durable and convenient format.

An external hard drive is a great way to take important information with you. These portable drives are easy to carry and easy to use. Seagate’s latest line offers half a terabyte of storage. You can back up your entire desktop computer and bring it with you wherever you go.

The Seagate FreeAgent Go is available as a 500 gigabyte unit. It connects via a USB 2.0 interface, which allows almost any computer to access the portable drive. Included is easy-to-use software that keeps your information safe with automatic data backup and encryption of your important files and folders.
