5.0 out of 5 stars so great I bought another, August 25, 2009

I've owned this little flash drive for over a year. It has been a work horse, suffering many abuses in my school bag, but still maintains a stable environment for my work. It's always had a quick transfer speed and has repeatedly gone from mac to pc and back again with no troubles. It is tiny, small enough to fit in my macbook's usb slot even when other cables are plugged into the other slots. My only "issue" with the drive is that because of my abuse, the little orange cover sometimes slides off when I try to remove the drive from the computer. This is EASILY remedied by a firm grip on the drive, not yanking it out from the lanyard I attached to the drive. =}

I've been so impressed w/ this drive, that when my daughter took over my drive (it holds her whole itunes folder -- no more multiple disk back-ups for her!), I bought myself another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved my Patriot X-Mini, but have since found something better, December 11, 2009

This review is from: Patriot X-Porter Mini 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive PSF8GMUSB (Personal Computers)

I had a Patriot X-Mini 8GB drive for nearly a year (from June 2008 to May 2009) and loved every day of owning it. It's a fast, sturdy, dependable drive that you really can't go wrong buying. My only complaint was that after a few months the rubber housing for the drive started to slip off and the cap would fall off in my pocket. Given the small size, large capacity, quick read and write speeds, and overall durability of the device, that was honestly a very minor issue.

Unfortunately, in May I accidentally fried my X-Mini by plugging it into a mangled USB port on a co-worker's computer. This was entirely my mistake and happened through no fault or defect of the X-Mini itself. Thankfully, I was in the habit of doing regular backups, so I didn't lose any data, but believe me now I look at every USB port before I plug in any device. At first I resolved to buy the exact same flash drive again, since I loved it so much, but I shopped around a little and took a chance on a new model by Verbatim, which was at the time called Store 'n' Go Micro, but has now been renamed Tuff 'n' Tiny. I've had this device for over six months now and have zero regrets about owning it. On durability and speed, it's comparable and perhaps better than the X-Mini, and since it doesn't have a casing or cap of any kind, there's nothing to work loose with prolonged use like the rubber housing of the X-Mini. As I said, I loved my X-Mini and you can't go wrong buying one, but as long as you're shopping I would definitely recommend giving the Tuff 'n' Tiny a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing rocks, July 15, 2009

This little USB drive rocks. It's so small yet holds so much. The Patriot x-mini has very fast transfer speeds, sports a nice rubber skin, has a solid construction, and is very reliable. Every USB drive I've owned has failed in some way in months--but this little guy has been going strong for about a year now. Plus, it came with none of the horrible U3 (or similar) software installed. Great buy.
