DOA, sent for repair, DOA Again - Worked Only Once!! [Posted on 2007-12-31]
I bought the 2 MB version of this device for about $65, and it was defective upon arrival. After a lot of hassle, they gave a RMA to send it in for repair. It was in repair for two months and finally I got it back with a note saying simply: "Tested" I copied about 5 small files to it and I thought it might be working. Later I delected the files and now I can no longer write to it at all. I tried on another laptop computer and same problem. I have lots of cheap USB flash memory modules that all work perfectly. Of course, meanwhile the price has dropped by 50% and I have yet to get any use out it. The lifetime warranty goes like this: It will take your entire lifetime to get a working device. I strongly advise you to avoid this product brand entirely. The device is garbage and the warranty is worthless because you just get more garbage after waiting another couple of months. Or maybe you enjoy being passed around customer service for an hour and interrogated as if you are stupid. I am an electrical engineer with 12 patents. You just stick it in the hole and write files to it. How hard can it be?

Fast, but don't lose your cap! [Posted on 2008-06-23]
I've purchased 5 of these so far for myself and my staff and they work great. They're very fast and reliable. Unfortunately the cap is VERY easy to lose, and once it's gone a lot the benefit of the ruggedness is negated. Hopefully Patriot will figure out a better capping solution in future models; then I'd recommend them without reservation.
