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.

 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 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.

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.
