now you're probably thinking Deja Vu I've seen this before this is the
0:12
Patriot holiday tree and the Patriot snow person politically correct USB
0:17
flash drive so the holiday tree is 4 gig the Snowman is 8 gig and there's one
0:22
that I didn't have before and I didn't know I was getting so I went and shot
0:26
the video already but now we have the Patriot holiday
0:30
stocking so that is the 16 gig version
0:33
which I'm going to now unbox with its
0:36
2-year warranty and driverless support
0:39
for most operating
0:43
systems wow this is like some serious
0:48
business packaging here that uh I must have used my knife on last time that's
0:52
okay I have my knife Slick's trying to find a knife for me but he doesn't
0:56
realize that I'm just struggling with it for effect here right now so why don't
1:01
we go ahead and find out the performance
1:04
of the 16 gig holiday stocking which is like the other two absolutely adorable
1:10
and has a holiday flake on it and holiday gifts uh so here let's go over
1:15
here and we'll plug it in to the front USB on my ante 300 on the uh this is the
1:21
tech tips video editing PC so go ahead
1:25
and close all this and all this and
1:29
let's go ahead head and find something
1:32
maybe on local disk C I have actually no
1:35
idea what's uh what's on this computer anywhere apparently there's uh let's see
1:42
uh desktops empty
1:46
downloads all right sure let's have a look let's find like a large file
1:51
somewhere here's one aha here's a here's
1:54
an ISO so let's go ahead
1:57
and copy that
2:01
so that's 716
2:04
Megs hey that's actually not bad for like a value value USB drive that looks
2:10
super cute so I'm going to let you guys do the timing because I forgot to set a
2:14
timer to start so you know you can just pay attention to this number and then
2:20
the total time of the video and then oh
2:23
it's dropping off a little
2:27
bit or maybe it's not I mean this number is notoriously inaccurate although not
2:32
as bad as it was on previous versions of of Windows Slick's nodding in agreement
2:36
he's with me on this one notoriously inaccurate see how complicated is that
2:41
there's time and megabytes and like I I really I really
2:47
don't see why that's so difficult to uh to figure out for um file copy speed
2:56
measuring like if it was one of those things where it's like you know time
3:00
over megab megabytes over like the
3:03
spatiality of the computer and it was like this complicated like
3:06
three-dimensional graph then I think we're having a different conversation
3:10
here but this is like this is basic stuff I mean even if it gave me a
3:14
summary at the end I'd be happy with that if it was just like the whole thing
3:18
even though we were saying 16 megabytes the entire time actually it went at 3
3:22
megabytes per second because we've been timing it this entire time and we're
3:26
Microsoft and uh I'm just buying time
3:29
here guys so there we go the file transfer is done I'm going to go ahead
3:33
and pull my stocking holiday stocking
3:36
out of the computer and I've lost the cap but I wouldn't have lost the cap if
3:41
I had used the
3:46
included cap holder which you can use to
3:49
throw the cap on there and then attach this to this so the whole thing stays
3:53
chained together just like that so thank you for checking out my holiday unboxing
