Already own a Patriot Xporter USB 2 Boost 150X - 16 GB, high-performance, indestructible, I opted for this model because of the price and brand. Test on a big file USB 3: Scripture 10.8 MB / sec (10.3 MB / sec USB 2) Play 82 MB / sec! (30MB / sec USB 2) So a little less well in writing that the Xporter Boost 150X - 16 GB, by playing against USB 3, it's mind-blowing! For better performance in writing USB 3, it must turn to the keys of very large capacity (in my opinion 64GB mini ...). It is more compact and better finished than Xporter Boost 150X - 16 GB, the cap holds up better and a little cheaper: therefore adopted!
