Introducing the Gigantic 64GB Pen Drive from Patriot Memory
By Jenny • Dec 17th, 2008 • Category: Mobile Computing Accessory NewsPatriot Memory has pushed the boundaries of portable storage by launching its new Xporter Magnum USB pen drive under its Extreme Performance Line which offers 64 GB of storage space. This pen drive is sufficient for carrying a tremendous amount of data in your pocket. It can hold around 13,000 soundtracks or you can carry fifteen 720p HD movies along with you without any hassles. No other flash drive on the market offers such a huge amount of storage as of now.
Performance wise, the Xporter Magnum USB pen drive is not disappointing. It is configured as a dual channel drive which uses Multi Level Cell (MLC) flash memory. The storage capacity of the pen drive is definitely its highlight, as it is over twice as large as even the company’s other huge USB stick, the Patriot Xporter XT Boost 32GB. Although the Multi Level Cell flash is slower than the Single Level Cell (SLC) flash memory (especially during writing the data), the Xporter Magnum USB pen drive guarantees a read speed of up to 210x, i.e. around 31MB/s. Such a read speed is excellent when it is offered by a 64 GB of flash drive. After all, what’s the use of a pen drive that offers faster read speeds but can accommodate only 4, 8, 12 or 32 GB of data.
Coming to the design, the Xporter Magnum USB pen drive features a compact form factor and can be easily carried along by the user.
