CONCLUSION

   Since the SuperSonic Magnum 64GB is amongst the fastest flash drives we've ever tested and the first one i've used for Patriot Memory that actually left most of the competition behind by a large margin i can't really complain about it in any way especially since there's really nothing wrong with it. Sure the housing is not rugged and that's something some people may not find appealing but it's shock resistant up to 15g and made of quality aluminum. Also although still not even close to what USB 3.0 is really capable of its read/write performance levels are quite remarkable and certainly not something that will go unnoticed especially if you use it to carry around huge size files. The only "slight" issue some people may have with the SuperSonic Magnum may be its somewhat large size compared to other drives but since it weighs just 25g and it's not like it can't fit in your pockets i don't really think that's really something that will drive away potential buyers.

   Build quality and performance always matter a lot when we're talking about storage media but price is also a very significant factor something that Patriot Memory knows very well since they are currently selling the 64GB variant for USD85.10 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 80Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Certainly to people who are not after the best possible read/write transfer speeds such amount may seem a bit high but if you check the prices of similar high-end USB 3.0 Flash Drives by all the other leading manufacturers you will see that it's actually not. So basically with the Patriot SuperSonic Magnum 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive you are getting superior performance wrapped and plenty of storage space (for a flash drive) inside an shock resistant aluminum housing which is why we are also giving it our Platinum Award.
