Patriot Viper 64GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive Review

Conclusion

Patriot Viper 64GB USB 3.1 flash drive is one of the fastest devices this type which we could have a chance to test. It offers maximum read bandwidth of 420MB/s what is just amazing comparing it to most other USB flash drives on the market.

Viper product line is clearly designed for gamers and computer enthusiasts. Red and black colors together with aggressive logo make exceptional effect.

We had no problems with compatibility or stability of the flash drive. All tests were performed on couple of motherboards and a laptop. As I mentioned in the article, performance may vary depends of platform. However maximum bandwidth was much higher than that declared by Patriot. We wish to see higher write bandwidth as it’s clearly low comparing to read but it doesn’t affect daily work much. I guess that’s why Patriot mainly focused on read bandwidth which home users and gamers see the most.

Patriot Viper USB 3.1 flash drive is covered by five year warranty. It’s really good for a flash drive. Most devices this type have two year warranty.

Price of 64GB Patriot Viper flash drive should be near $30 but I can’t find it available in any larger online store. There is a chance we will see it a bit cheaper. It’s still fresh product so can be problem with availability but I assume it will change soon. Price itself is quite good and I think it’s really worth to consider Patriot Viper if you are looking for a small but at the same time really fast USB drive.

 

Pros:

  • High performance
  • Small and light
  • Gaming design
  • 5 year warranty
  • Inexpensive

 

Cons:

  • Write bandwidth could be higher

 

Final words:

If you are looking for a really fast USB 3.0/3.1 storage device which is at the same time small and light then Patriot Viper flash drive is product for you. If we add it’s inexpensive and has long warranty then we get option which is hard to beat by competitive products on the market. Patriot Viper flash drive, the same as other products from Viper series, is clearly worth recommendation!
