*DEAD* 32GB Patriot Supersonic Xpress USB 3.0 Flash Drive $20AR/FS Live Now *Not available for shipping*

arghhh this is what I get for playing a round of BF3.... oh well, $30 saved I guess.

Quote from 29er : Murphy's Law, kid starting asking questions right as I was checking out and missed it by seconds. Anyway, I know it's not 32GB, but it's a faster unit with free shipping: http://www.frys.com/product/54197...IN_RSLT_PG

I don't think that unit is faster and it's only USB 2.0. There was another deal for the Corsair 32GB thru Buy.com at this price which is for a faster unit (with its own set of gripes)

Yeah, it looked faster but didn't have USB 3.0 in the title, so in SD fashion I pulled the trigger first, then decided to look into it after only to find out it's 2.0. So I grabbed the Corsair and canceled this one. When I called Fry's to cancel the guy on the phone said they only had 66 of those Patriot 32GB Supersonics to sell. I'd rather have the Supersonic, but the Corsair will suffice (for now). Thanks.

Same price here guys (+$5 shipping)

Nice, someone has some splainin to do.

Damn I've been waiting for a sale on this and missed it. There needs to be more capless USB 3.0 designs.

Tried to order online... Had it in my cart, was editing my credit card information, and then went OOS as I was checking out. So I had to drive down to Manhattan Beach Fry's to pick one up. They had about 100+ in those big plastic transparent tubs this morning sitting in the USB drive isle.

Here's some ATTO benchmarks... I only have USB 2.0 ports, so the speeds are limited by it. I'm sure USB 3.0 will be even faster, but this is excellent speed for USB 2.0, faster than the Corsair Flash Voyager 16GB I bought a couple of months ago.

Getting about 20MB/s writes and 32MB/s reads on USB 2.0 which is excellent for this price. It comes pre-formatted as NTFS, FAT32 will probably be even faster.

Only downside is actual capacity usable capacity is 29.4GB. Yes I know about the 1024 vs 1000 base rounding, but it's a flash drive, not a hard drive.

Very happy with the speeds, just hope it's reliable and doesn't die or break like in some of the Newegg reviews. The plastic housing and the slider/clicky mechanism does seem a bit flimsy. There's no small activity light, the whole blue end thingy lights up when transferring data.

The capacity is RAW, you get 29.4 due to NTFS formatting (file table overhead)
Old topic, but just in case
