It is quite amazing to see how far USB Flash Drives have evolved and the Patriot Supersonic Rage Pro is a clear example of that. It comes with near-SATA SSD read/write speeds and is very compact to be easily carried in the pocket. Also, it is available with capacities of up to 512GB, to be able to carry large quantities of data at once.
The testbench was composed from the following hardware:
CPU: Intel I5 9700K Retail
CPU Cooler: Deepcool Captain 240 EX RGB AIO
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming
RAM: Patriot Memory Viper RGB Series DDR4
Video: KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6GB
Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W
SSD: OCZ Vector 150
Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840

Here is the total storage space reported by Windows OS; the drive comes formatted exFAT by default. For testing purposes we will re-format it to NTFS:
To determine the flash drive read speeds, the HD Tune v5 utility was used:
To measure the real life performance, we have used the Total Commander application to copy to the flash drive and from the flash drive the same file and recorded the transfer speeds, after they have stabilized.

We have also performed some extra tests with this drive and the results can be checked out right here:
