 Now here's a product category that hasn't really seen any innovation in the last little while. I mean yeah, they've gotten smaller They've gotten bigger, but this is finally something cool. This is the patriot transporter XT rage No, I don't think it's XT at all Yeah, transporter XT rage. I was totally right. Okay. This is a quad channel USB flash drive It's available in a bunch of different capacities, and it offers up to 25 megabytes per second write speeds so that is way faster than pretty much any other USB drive That doesn't have quad channel performance Comes with a 25 year warranty from patriot And I guess let's open it up shall we Okay, so if I can I I've been turning it over trying to figure out how to open the box and I still actually don't know so I'm going to resort to using my trusty knife and Maybe you split it That looks dangerous. Oh, hey look there's a USB plug on the back. Oh, no, that's the front Okay, so we sliced something I'm not sure if we sliced the right thing, okay Okay, transporter XT rage Come on up, come on up little guy When it comes out there might be much rage in theory All right, there we go We've extracted it from the packaging always be careful when opening packaging not everyone is a professional unboxer. Do not attempt this at home. Oh That's how it works Cool. So that's the transporter XT rage. It's got a little loop for a key or for a Little piece of string that you put through there and then you can hang it off your keychain or whatever else you want and then it's also got a USB interface here and it's eight gigs and How about this Here's a stunning new development. I'm going to test it There's an idea okay, so I'm going to plug it into my computer here All right plugs in just like that now just a little bit on the big side It was detected right away Okay, just a second Let's close all my windows. You never know what kind of personal information might be there Someone saw my my personal MSN a little while ago And I had a bunch of people adding me to MSN I apologize to everyone who added me to MSN and I did not add them back But my MSN is strictly for RL friends and family So don't be offended, please Okay, so let's try and find something here. Why don't I copy my audiosurf music folder over to the rage XT? Wow, that's fast. Okay, so 17 megabytes 21 megabytes per second 16 megabytes per second 16 megabytes per second And that was with a bunch of small files, okay, okay forget that forget that let's find let's find something that's Like bigger Okay here here here. We'll find something okay I'm not going to show you as I browse all my folders and files so you can you can look at my g15 keyboard for now and Let's find What can I find there has to be something here? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll just do like a big blog video file because blog video files are not downloaded from the internet and They are completely legal. I own all of the rights to these I think Okay, so it was up to 23 megabytes per second there for a sec. Oh, this is highly inaccurate. I hate this stupid thing It's never right anyway. We saw when we were transferring the music it went up above 20 megabytes per second But I don't know if it's actually measuring it in any meaningful way anyway, you can see that I am transferring a 2.7 gigabyte file and I'm transferring it to this USB thumb drive, and it's going pretty fast and Yeah, I guess that's pretty much it there you go. That's what you can expect out of real-world performance It's possible if we formatted it properly and didn't just plug it into the computer and go that we might get slightly better results And this may not be accurate at all in fact it might be transferring it 150 megabytes per second for all we know but Windows doesn't seem to measure things the same way that everybody does so It's impossible to tell thank you for checking out my unboxing and quick performance test of the patriot Transporter XT rage
