Patriot 128gb USB key
G'day all,
I just noticed that the first 128gb USB key has hit the market by Patriot, at newegg and PCCaseGear in Australia.
OK it's not bargain of the century at launch, but speed is claimed to be decent for what it is. For some people this might be a substitute for an external hard drive when prices drop.
Cheers.

That explains why there's no specific speed specifications available anywhere that I can find. Still, there's nothing to compare it with if ruggedness and small size are a factor. I look forward to further improvements.
Also I should correct my first post, apparently Kingston was first with a 128gb key last month, but I can't find their product on sale anywhere just yet.

Yes on reads, but what about writes? Only OCZ Throttle and Patriot Xporter XT were close to being decent.quikkie wrote:there's a whole bunch of USB memory sticks that hit the USB2 transfer speed limit already (on sequential reads). ArsTechnica has a handy round up here
