Patriot 64GB Xporter Magnum USB Flash Drive
Mar 5th, 2009 | By JaredOnce the package is opened, there are three contents inside. You have the USB extension cable, lanyard and the Xporter Magnum itself.
The Magnum has a metal casing with the name and size of the drive clearly printed. The first thing that came to my mind was how this drive is wider than any thumb drive I have used before.
Once you have the cap off, you can get a better idea of the width of the Magnum. The cap can be attached to the backside for safekeeping while the drive is in use.
Here is a quick shot of the Xporter Magnum next to the Corsair Flash Voyager Mini and Kingston Data Traveler-Secure to give another perspective on its size.
When USB ports are parallel the Xporter Magnum will not hinder with other ports beside it. However when the ports are side by side, the Magnum’s width will interfere with any ports beside it.
While I initially did not think there was an activity LED, but after plugging the Magnum in, I saw there is one somewhat hidden inside the end.
We’ve had a look at the specs and the drive itself, time to hook it up and run it through some tests.
