The Supersonic is the first USB flash drive from Patriot to come through the ´Labs and to be honest, they could not have made a better first impression. Along with a compact, shock resistant design, this USB 3.0 flash drive packs some impressive performance. Thanks to its Quad-Channel technology, the Supersonic performed very well in our tests, reading at speeds as high as 125 MB/s and writing at 70 MB/s. This wasn´t enough to top Kingston´s new USB 3.0 flash drive. However, the Supersonic gave it a serious run for its money. My only real complaint is that the Supersonic´s cap cannot be stored on the opposite end, which makes it easy to misplace when the drive is in use.
The Patriot Supersonic is available now in 32GB and 64GB capacities and can be purchased from online stores like Amazon for as little as $70.
