they're back Patriots holiday USB keys I
0:12
don't think I've ever actually done a video about them in the past but they do
0:16
do up special designs uh pretty much every year that I've been aware of the
0:19
last couple years anyway of USB keys that come in special holiday design so
0:25
these are great stocking stuffers I'm going to go ahead and open up the 8 gig
0:29
snow man remember Patriot technology is
0:32
one of the few memory guys that actually still manufactur some products in the
0:37
united well United States I mean a lot of my viewers are not in the United
0:40
States but why don't I say North America so that at least it's somewhat relevant
0:44
to most of the viewers so they do still
0:47
actually manufacture product in North America this guy right here comes with a
0:51
2-year warranty driverless support for most operating systems and it is
0:55
compliant with high-speed USB 2 there's
0:58
nothing really else on here in terms of spec although that is pretty much to be
1:06
expected yeah I know right um because
1:10
really these are intended as cute little stocking stuffers and not a whole lot
1:13
more uh you can see the snowman's bum comes off and then you go ahead and plug
1:18
the USB thing in and uh here I can show
1:21
you how big the actual USB key itself is if you guys are curious there you go see
1:26
that's how big it is the rest of it just casing that looks cute so for techsavvy
1:31
moms who want to get something for the impossible tolee geek these are adorable
1:36
they're uh you know useful and hey check
1:40
this out they even come with go ahead
1:44
and come on they even come with a
1:48
keychain attachable little piece here
1:51
which we can go ahead and string through the top of the Snowman
1:56
here and then attach to something just
2:01
like this my keys are not in my
2:05
wall I mean my keys are not in my pocket not my wallet my keys are never in my
2:10
wallet that' be one bulky ass castanza
2:14
wallet okay there we go
2:18
and don't worry I'll figure this out at some point yeah there we go so that is
2:23
what the Snowman USB drive will look like when it
2:27
is attached to your keychain isn't it adorable let's go ahead and open up the
2:32
Christmas tree or rather the oh man really the holiday tree you know what
2:37
I'm going to go ahead and call it the Christmas tree because my calendar says Christmas not
2:42
holiday so that's why I'm putting up a
2:45
tree I don't know about you guys but whatever okay so there we go there's my
2:49
holl no no I can't do it there's my Christmas tree with my candy canes and
2:53
my popcorn and the little bobbles and
2:56
the star on the top the star obviously signifies in the North Star because uh
3:02
the north star guides everyone through life regardless of their particular
3:06
Faith No that's not why the stars on top um and then on the bottom we have our
3:11
USB and we go ahead and pull that out we discover that actually it's the same
3:16
thing with a different holiday themed covering on it
3:20
which anyone who knows anything about USB drives probably already knew but
3:25
there you go so here is the tree and I'm going to go ahead I'm going to take the
3:28
Snowman back off my key chain so that I can hold it up and compare it next to
3:32
the tree so the tree is the 4 Gig the Snowman is the 8 gig or rather I should
3:38
say snow person since I'm being so politically correct in this particular
3:42

3:55
henceforth be known as slick asked me what this is for and I told him it is to
4:01
hold the cap while you are using the USB
4:05
drive then you can take it off here and put it
4:09
here and it's adorable again
