Patriot Xporter XT Rage 32GB Flash Drive Review

The USB flash drive has not really changed much.  We have seen all types of flash drives over the past few year, ones that are practically indestructible and other that are waterproof, but the technology in the drive itself really has not changed.  Patriot has decided to change this with the Xporter XT Rage line of USB flash drives.  These drives feature a Quad Channel configuration, data is intelligently managed and transferred simultaneously to 4 NAND chips resulting in vastly enhanced performance, particularly write speeds: Rage improves on traditional USB 2.0 Flash Drives to offer up to 27MB/s read and 25MB/s write transfer speeds.  Let’s take a look…
