Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers consistently highlight the Rage Prime's exceptional performance, noting read speeds that exceed 800 MB/s and sustained writes near 667 MB/s, which are unprecedented for a USB flash drive. They commend the capless retractable design and the use of a Phison PS2251‑17 controller, while pointing out the plastic enclosure, potential thermal throttling, and premium pricing as notable drawbacks.
How It Compares
Compared to typical USB flash drives, the Rage Prime delivers SSD‑class linear and random performance, positioning it well above the average flash drive that offers only fast sequential reads. Earlier Patriot models like the Supersonic Rage 2 and Magnum 2 were already top performers, and the Rage Prime builds on that legacy with higher capacities and even faster real‑world speeds, though it faces competition from metal‑cased portable SSDs that may offer better thermal management.
