One thing that I feel like gets overlooked these days are flash drives. Over the past couple of years we’ve really seem an increase in not only speed, but capacity of these drives. The flash drive we are taking a look at today is Patriot’s Supersonic Rage Prime which is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 flash drive. This drive not only will give you speeds of up to 600 MB/s but on top of that we have the 1TB version which is quite a lot of data to be able to hold on a tiny flash drive. Let’s jump in!
Special thanks to Patriot for providing us with the Supersonic Rage Prime USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive to review.

Packaging
The Supersonic Rage Prime come in a nice retail blister pack that you would find at a retail store. It lets us know the capacity as well as the speed. As I mentioned I have the 1TB version, but it is also available in 500GB and 250GB.
Flipping over to the back there is some more information on the drive and it tells us the drive is compatible with both Windows and Mac.
Drive Overview
The Supersonic Rage Prime is quite a small drive, which makes it easy to throw in your pocket. The chassis is mainly made of plastic, which is pretty typical for flash drives.
The drive uses a retractable design which actually will protect the USB connector. Talking about the USB connection it is your typical USB-A port.
