Patriot Xporter XT PEF4G200USB 4GB

This product from Patriot has an eye-catching, vivid design. The oval-shaped case made of black rubber has a rough surface for better contact with your fingers. The flattened shape of the case serves the same purpose. The manufacturer’s name and the name and capacity of the model are painted in red and white letters. The overall appearance of this device provokes associations with some cool-looking running shoes. There is a LED indicator of operation mode and a hole for a cord on the case.

The Xporter XT series includes three models (1, 2 and 4GB) that support USB 2.0. The XT abbreviation is spelled out as Xtreme Transfer. This means a max read speed of 200x, i.e. 32MB/s.

The drive is shipped with a cord for wearing it and a small trinket on a metallic chain.

RiDATA Mini Spin EZdrive Ut163 4GB

This drive has a handsome case made of shiny black plastic. It also has a metallic clip to carry the drive on your pocket. There is a read-only switch on one of the side panels. On the face panel of the drive, to the left of the manufacturer’s name, there is a small and rather dull LED indicator of operation mode. The design of the drive doesn’t include a separate cap. To connect it to a PC, you should pull out the part of the case with the USB connector and turn it around by 180 degrees.

The Mini Spin flash drive family is comprised of models with capacities of 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB. They all support USB 2.0. The flash drive allows to create a password-protected partition. The device’s dimensions are 61.0 x 21.0 x 12.3mm. Its weight is 13.5g.

The package doesn’t contain anything else besides the drive.
