I transferred one of my music folders from my Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD drive over to the thumb drive (see attached image) over 80GB of files in 4 minutes 8 seconds - that's over 330MB/sec average transfer speed.
This thumb drive appears to have a some amount of super-speed transfer cache as the first 20 seconds of transfer was pegged at a little over 1GB/sec. You can see the effect of this by cranking the test size of Crystal Disk Mark up to 64GiB. Even then this drive is still posting impressive numbers for what it is.
If speed is the only concern, Kingston DataTraveler Max 256GB drive hits peak speeds of 1GB/sec, while the Patriot RAGE is only 250GB (232GB capacity in Windows), hits 600MB/sec, and is $8 more than the Kingston, so value wise I cannot give it a 5, but it's so much smaller / portable / convenient than the Kingston.
Because of the much more portable form factor, I would definitely recommend this drive over the Kingston DataTraveler Max.

One only has USB 3.0 ports, older system. I was able to read from this drive at about 225MB/s to an SSD, and then when I wrote to the drive it wrote at about 160MB/s. OS is Win8.1 which shows speed at any given moment so you can see any slowdowns. This drive maintained write speed so if there's any kind of caching it's a very large cache
I then tested on a newer PC with Ubuntu MATE, using a USB C 3.1 gen1 port via a hub. For either reading or writing going to a SATA III SSD, I was hitting about 225MB/s
This drive could be faster than these speeds, but I'm pretty impressed with writing to this drive at 225MB/s. I was a little bothered by the read speeds because it should have been better. The last test I did was writing to an NVMe SSD, and that got my read speed off the drive up to 250MB/s . I don't know if the drive being very warm at this point caused it to slow down, but if so then I see that as an issue for the drive. The older Rage drives could be used to move lots of data and I wouldn't experience slow downs, but I never got write speeds so fast.
So, for me this is a mixed bag. I really like the write speeds to this USB drive but the read speeds I was hitting were pretty trivial for the better USB drives, and slower than even the Rage Elite in one system I tested.
I have to drop it to 4 stars because of this, but I am impressed with the write speed when connected through a USB C 3.1 gen1 hub and port.
Read: 251 MB/sec
Write: 69 Mb/sec
I am puzzled by the negative reviews. (Perhaps users who left them were using USB 2 ports or had not reformatted their flash drives from the exFAT32 to the NTFS file system. My flash drive arrived formatted in exFAT32, which is not ideal for my purposes. NTFS is faster and easier to encrypt, at least on my end.)
The retractable feature is useful and similar to what was found in previous models of Patriot Rage.
I wish that the tiny hole for attaching a lanyard were larger, and I wish that this USB drive came with a built-in external label feature or with a lanyard and a tag.

A noter que la protection est en plastique : c'est très léger, mais j'aurai malgré tout préféré un matériau plus résistant, métallisé, ou plus protecteur, comme du caoutchouc.
Ceci dit, je n'ai eu aucun souci de fonctionnement après plus d'un an d'utilisation. Et malgré l'apparente fragilité des matériaux, aucune détérioration à signaler.

Actualizaré cuando lo use en el usb 3.2 y si no mejora le bajaré una estrella, pero por 40 euros, con 237 GB reales, creo que es mas que recomendable.
UPDATE: Remember that the speed of the flash drive will only be as fast as whatever you're plugging it into. So, if your computer or hub support USB 3.0, you're going to max out at those speeds. Don't expect the flash drive to magically get around those restrictions. I'm going to upgrade my USB hub to USB 3.2 so I can potentially get faster speeds out of my Patriot flash drive.
