As mobile devices start replacing traditional laptops and desktops, it's natural for people to chafe at the limitations on storage. The Patriot Aero provides an excellent, if not quite elegant, solution to this problem. It takes some time to configure and to determine how best to use its many capabilities, but once mastered it opens up a lot of possibilities.

Patriot's Supersonic Magnum is an absolute beast – more like an SSD than a lowly thumb drive. The speeds of over 250MB/s read and 160MB/s write are brilliant; the 256GB worth of space is astounding…
[T]he Supersonic's Magnum real claim to fame is offering copious capacities coupled with swift speeds, and in that regard it doesn't disappoint.... The 256GB Supersonic Magnum is one of the fastest and highest-capacity USB 3.0 flash drives we've ever tested.
The Patriot Supersonic Magnum is a flash drive that kills two birds with one stone. With 250MB/s read and 160MB/s write speeds it is fast enough to transfer large amounts of data in a fraction of the time it would have taken just over a year ago, but beyond the speed the Magnum also has the storage capacity to hold large amounts of High Def videos, digital images and a near endless amount of data. For the average consumer a 256GB drive is not yet a necessity, but for professionals that deal with large files a drive that can hold all their work with ease and transfer it to and from the drive quickly is a godsend.
...the Patriot Supersonic Managnum is actually faster than one of these internal drives and you can definately install a whole operating system and run it off of there with that much space...
...When it comes to performance the Patriot Supersonic Magnum 256GB is hands down the fastest USB 3.0 Flash drive that we have ever seen when it comes to the synthetic benchmark results. Seeing sequential read speeds of nearly 300MB/s and 180MB/s write is very impressive.
...The product is a definite Editors Choice in the mobile storage category as it does what it says and says what it does pretty accurately from what our tests have shown.
The Supersonic Magnum from Patriot is certainly one of a kind. It's the fastest drive we have tested when it comes to sequential reads, boasting 304MB/s.
... we can see that our drive not only surpassed their rated figures but actually blew them out of the water. Now we know that sometimes flukes are always possible but after testing the drive various times, we were greeted with the same numbers repeatedly showing that this drive’s performance doesn’t degrade after stressing it for a long period of time. ...
Also to make things a little sweet, Patriot have slapped a 5-year warranty onto this drive and with full plug and play support for Windows 8, this makes the Supersonic Magnum pretty unbeatable.
Bottom line, if you’re either running out of space on your mobile device or you want an easier way to share content between your devices, no matter what it is, then the Gauntlet has got you covered.
If you need a fast, well constructed pen drive to back up a massive amount of important data, then the Patriot SuperSonic Magnum offers lightning speeds inside a very small form factor.
Kitguru says: A well rounded, lightning quick portable drive, which breaks the high capacity 1GB to £1 barrier
The Gauntlet Node is certainly a very interesting idea, especially for people with mobile devices who would enjoy continuous access to a large amount of data. It certainly is a very stylish and well-made device...We think it would be exceptionally useful for those who own iPhones and iPads, the memory of which cannot be upgraded, as well as similar mobile devices, and possess a very large audio collection or, even worse, video files such as movies and boxsets. It definitely is a versatile device, with the USB 3.0 cable allowing the quick transfer of massive amounts of data between it and a PC and the 8-way Wi-Fi allowing the connection of several devices simultaneously. Battery life is very good too, considering that the battery has to power a mechanical disk drive.
In terms of performance, the Patriot Signature Boost XT And Rage flash drives are very quick, with over 100MB/s and 180MB/s Read, respectively. That’s a significant difference between the two drives, and the Rage is extremely fast. However, both drives exhibit very similar Write results, around 45-57MB/s Write. Those aren’t the fastest we’ve seen in our flash drive testing, but they’re most certainly good enough for all but the most demanding needs of consumers.

Patriot 8GB 1866MHz Viper Black Mamba 3 proved to be an excellent choice when it comes to price-performance ratio. Whether you use the new Intel platform requires working voltage of 1.5 V, or use one of AMD's APU these modules will be very good.
For a price of 39 € in retail, you're unlikely to find other modules that can operate at 2200MHz, with a capacity of 8GB. And if a very nice design as well as a guarantee of 5 years it added, you have to admit that you're cornered and you can do nothing else than buying them :-) - our warm recommendation.
To get straight to the point about this kit, all I have to say really is wow! ... Patriot have taken an already great product and changed the colour scheme of the modules purely to feature in Intel’s Extreme Masters championships and if it’s worthy of Intel giving that branding, then it must be worth the status of ‘Limited Edition’ surely? ... Bottom line, this Limited Edition product has all the marks of a high quality kit and should be snapped up before its limited supplies run out.

The concept of the Gauntlet Node is one which is very appealing. ... £80 gets a solid enclosure with USB 3.0 and Wireless-N functionality, an AC adapter, the ability to use the device for 5 hours without wires and a 2-year warranty. Pretty good all things considered.

The tests showed a good general behavior of the memory, ... They have, however, reached a frequency of 2.354MHz in full stability and with a voltage decidedly content of 1.58 V. Daily use proved to be very stable and very cold, despite several hours of stress testing and video games. Under this point of view, the objective of Patriot, namely to provide memory offering performance and stability over time, has been fully achieved.
The Patriot Gauntlet 320 has a lot going for it. For smartphone and tablet users, it expands available storage to an amount that would be impossible to have otherwise.

All in all, this is a great little stick with quite a lot of rage in it.
“Coming in at a really strong price point, this 8GB PC3-15000 kit offers strong performance, good overclocking potential and a nice all round design with the black on black setup ”
Based on the tested results no doubt it deserves TOH's Best choice! ...we appreciated the performance of the product and consider the price ... a good compromise between performance and quality offered.
In the light of the findings, considering the favorable current price.., the lifetime warranty offered by the manufacturer and the excellent technical characteristics, we have to reward the Patriot Viper 3 Intel Extreme Masters Limited Edition 16GB 2133MHz with our highest recognition.
These modules are actually priced well for both being XMP certified memory and having some sort of great looking heatsink design. Until something equal or better comes along, the Intel Extreme Masters and Viper III are the optimum memory of choice for Z77 systems.
The Patriot Memory Gauntlet 320 was ready to be used right out of the box and only required full battery charging. ... As demonstrated in our Gauntlet control panel and Gauntlet Connect app video, the Gauntlet WiFi enclosures are easily accessible and are useful not just for PCs but for mobile devices as well.

A really strong well priced kit that performs well and offers some good overclocking performance. Along with that it’s just all around good looking kit with its black PCB and blue heatsink
Where the Viper 3 series does stand out is in its looks, as this is some of the cooler looking DDR3 memory we have come across and Patriot offers a wide range of colors to match your system. Like most memory modules the Viper 3 series is backed by a limited life time warranty which should put the mind of those that plan to overclock at ease. Given the impressive overclocking abilities we are going to award the Viper 3 series with our performance award.
The latest Supersonic Rage XT USB 3.0 Flash Drive really impressed us regarding the read performances, succeeding to surpass all other products on the same bus tested in the past.
Patriot EP is another card, which made a pleasant surprise. Write speed went beyond advertised, which made the card to be one of the performance leaders. At the same time read rates remained at a very good level.
The Gauntlet Node looks to address the need for more storage for users on-the-go. We feel that it delivered well overall in our testing, and with Apple and Android devices, the device is easy to configure and use.
Most files streamed just fine, even when there were multiple devices competing for bandwidth, and once the Node and any connected devices were set up and configured, the user experience was fairly straightforward and simple.

“Our Verdict: The Gauntlet Node is an external USB 3.0 chassis that lets you build your own Wi-Fi-equipped hard drive that works with iOS and Android devices. It's a fine solution for supplemental tablet or phone storage if you already own a 2.5-inch drive that's gathering dust.”
As always with these memory modules geared towards ‘extreme’ users the Viper 3 series features oversized heat spreaders that are designed to keep the memory cool when overclocked. That said, the intention is to look cool more than anything and it has worked, the Viper 3 is very cool looking memory.
Patriot's release of Intel-branded DDR3-2,133 Viper 3 memory provides aesthetic variation to its high-end system memory line-up. ... Keen pricing, cool looks and rock-solid performance is what we take away from our look at the Patriot Intel Extreme Masters DDR3-2,133 memory, so do consider it for that next Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 build.
The Patriot Gauntlet Node Wireless enclosure is a unique device that is not only useful for entertainment but for productivity as well.

Patriot's Viper 3 DDR3-2,133 CL11 kit, rated to perform to specification at just 1.50V, is solid from construction, performance and price viewpoints. Producing a three per cent performance uplift over DDR3-1,600 memory in the best real-world application test, this kind of memory, priced at under £50, can be recommended to enthusiasts who want the last drop of performance from their systems, preferably with the CPU overclocked.
The Viper ‘Black Mamba’ 2,133mhz is a fantastic kit from Patriot, with a striking black appearance which will look great in any windowed system build. The fact that Patriot have adopted small profile heatspreaders is a bonus, because they pair up fine with the latest, oversized heatsinks.
Performance is just as impressive, as the Viper ‘Black Mamba’ can deliver 45 GB/s of bandwidth at the default timings in a Quad Channel configuration.
Overclocking the Viper ‘Black Mamba’ isn’t difficult, and by simply relaxing the RAS to CAS delay from 11 to 12, stability was achieved at 2,400mhz. The system was perfectly stable throughout our intensive stress testing, and this enhanced the memory bandwidth to over 50 GB/s.
Straight out of the box, the PBO Alpine offers a rich and powerful set of features, and keeps it all contained into a very simple installation and interface.
