Conclusion & Verdict
There are many small flash drives on the market but not many as Patriot Spark are combining high capacity and high speed in so small package. When we add great looks then we receive nearly perfect flash drive.
Price is also good and we can expect to pay for this product about $30 what is not much for so fast 32GB mobile storage.
I don’t want to compare performance of Patriot Spark to top performance flash drives on the market as many of them are already reaching 200 MB/s. However how many of these top series are small, light and keep low price ? If we compare it from this angle then Patriot Spark is hard to beat by anything else available on the market.
Performance itself is really good no matter about what size of flash drive are we talking about. Of course write bandwidth could be higher but as I mentioned earlier, most operations are actually read transfers and writes are highly buffered so we won’t feel it so much in daily work.
Pros:
- Amazing read speed for so small flash drive
- Small and light
- High capacity for a device this size
- Good looks
- Low price
Cons:
- Write speed could be higher
Final words:
Patriot Spark is an amazing flash drive which combines most important features so high speed, high capacity and small, portable design. I can recommend this product to everyone who needs small and light portable storage in reasonable price without sacrificing high speed or capacity.
