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 right speeds so
that is way faster than pretty much any
other USB drive that doesn't have quad Channel
performance comes with a 25e 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 oh
wow there okay so we sliced something
I'm not sure if we sliced the right thing okay transporter XT rage
rage come on up come on up little
guy when it comes out there might be much rage
Fury 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 there 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 uh a US B
interface here and it's 8 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 it is a little bit on the big side it was detected right
away okay just a second let's close close all my Windows
you never know what kind of personal information might be there someone saw
my uh 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
uh 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 audio
search surf music folder over to the rage XT wow that's fast okay so 17 megab
21 megab per second 16 megab per
second and that was with a bunch of small files okay okay forget that forget
that let's find uh let's find something that's
um 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 uh you can look at my g15 keyboard for now and and uh 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 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 GB file and
I'm transferring it to this USB thumb drive and it's going pretty
fast and uh 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 to 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 at 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
