Patriot Supersonic Magnum 2 USB 3.1 Flash Drive Review

Final Thoughts
The media and content we are storing and using keep on getting larger, so not only having higher capacity flash drives, but ones that are fast is key. No one wants to wait 30 minutes to transfer files between two systems or from a work PC to their home PC. That is what is great about USB 3.1 is that you are going to get that amazing transfer speed. In our testing we saw speeds in the 400 MB/s range for reads and 300 MB/s range for writes! This makes the Patriot Supersonic one of the fastest USB flash drives that we’ve ever tested!

We’ve seen many Type-C USB flash drives come out, but Patriot has stuck with the Type-A connector as it makes the drive backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. This way you can use the drive with a multitude of devices, not just your new motherboard or laptop. The drive itself is built well and has an aluminum enclosure, which will protect the drive.

Right now Patriot is offering the drive in 256GB and 512GB capacities, which is a good amount of super-fast storage that fits in your pocket. Patriot also backs each drive with a 5-year warranty. The 256GB version that we reviewed today is selling for $109.99 at our favorite online retailer. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Patriot Supersonic Magnum 2 USB 3.1 Flash Drive a 10 out of 10 score.
