Hi
Patriot usb 64gb 5 pack
Also available 32gb 5 pack but that’s only slightly cheaper.

CamelCamelCamel.
I've got 46 in raid array, fantastic stuff, nearly as fast as a single ssd
Good deal.
According to the reviews, the 128GB version can reach 80 MB/s write, 134 MB/s read as mentioned in the previous comment, link to reviews below:

128GB (5 Pack) also selling for $49.65 which is really good value in my opinion:
Didn't see the 128 GB, I assumed the benchmark was for the 64. Damn I hope they don't suck, bought some
You can always cancel the 64GB pack order if it hasn't been shipped yet, then order the 128GB pack
Yeah I could, but don't even really need these, thought they might come in handy. 128 GB is overkill 😀
Sold out now anyway
Is this no longer available?
Struggling to see those 128GB ones. Gonski?
Yeah there was one left when I checked just before and then it was gone shortly after
Yeah I saw these after i got the patriot 5 pack of micro sd cards, wanted to replace slow Sandisk drives for bootable drives
I wonder the mSD are like. I wanted some more 64GB.
should have bought more when they had $7 Samsung on BF
The 5 pack 256gb patriots for 65 is a good deal wondering how they go in a gopro pi etc
Interesting negative reviews on Amazon
Should I just cancel then?
what do people use these for nowadays?
Windows boot drives? Installation media?
There's also Ventoy
Ventoy is better in my experience
videos of my wife and her boyfriend.
I've only got 2.
- Windows 11
- Steam Deck recovery
Get rid of all those USB 2.0 drives and upgrade to these.
And all gone before I could find enough items to bring me up to the $59 free shipping total. :(
Wow, a Supersonic Rage Lite?!?!!?
I have the old Supersonic Rage 2 from 8 years ago and just pulled it out to test with Crystaldiskmark for fun.
Sequential Read: 396.86 MB/s
Sequential Write: 239.08 MB/s
It does contain MLC NAND, so that's why the write speed is fast, even without caching on.
I had an earlier model of the patriot rage and it was the fastest USB drive I've ever seen
1 these always been at this price, now they are going to sky rocket because of the “eh, it’s posted here so I’ll buy some” orders
2 these are chunky, if you have 2 usb port next to each other, these almost certainly will block the other one.
There doesn’t seem to be any mention of 5 pack USBs when I jumped to the link. Also no 64GB available.
I'm seeing the same thing. Probably a price error and was supposed to be the individual price.
In that case the deal was too good to be true. If it was a five pack deal the price would’ve been tremendous but for a single unit the price doesn’t seem to be that good.
Nope, they have been this price forever. Probably ran out and taken down.
I wanted to get the 128GB model instead but I was too late. It’s not like I really need these USBs but still it’d be nice to put some isos on these drives.
@brenster56: I mean if you are literally just using for that the officeworks Sandisk 5 pack isn’t THAT bad. Sure it’s usb 2 and your boot will take little longer but most OS’s are about 2-3gb, really doesn’t make that much difference.

People here are seagulls (I don’t exclude myself). They just attack at everything even if they don’t need it at all lol.
Can't any 64GB models or any 5 pack deals. Deals ended?
Yeah, long gone. No 5 packs left at all now
Thanks OzBargain for killing another good product for the rest of us lol.
you're just too slow ;) I was quick enough to get a 5 pack of the 64Gb, but too slow for the 5 pack of 128Gb
No I buy these now and then, waaay before this post was even a thing.
Or use to before OzBargain did their thing and completely got the listing removed lol.
Have just received the 128GB version, and have run some CrystalDiskMark tests as below for those that are interested:
221.58 MB/s (Sequential Read)
125.41 MB/s (Sequential Write)
12.40 MB/s (Random Read)
1.42 MB/s (Random Write)
Yeah, I was about to post the same about the 64GB, way faster than I expected
225.50 MB/s (Sequential Read)
140.99 MB/s (Sequential Write)
12.98 MB/s (Random Read)
1.66 MB/s (Random Write)
Let's hope they're reliable
Just did some real world tests, like copying large files and it doesn't sustain those speeds. Averaging around 60 MB/sec writing. I should do another Crystal test with larger file sizes
I can see where the performance is reflected in its price. That random write speed is so slow.
Hoping these come back in stock sometime soon
Back in stock buddy
Yeah i noticed they were instock late last night but didnt place an order seems today its 1.05 more expensive lol
A true ozbargainer
Grabbed some. They don't seem to be terrible for under $7 each. Thanks OP
Saw someone posting crystal benchmarks at 80 MB/sec writes, seen worse, much worse
