This Patriot flash drive is only $4 more for shipping ($34.99 - $15 rebate), but is about twice as fast, according to reviews. Reviewers put the Patriot at around read/write of 20 Mb/s, and the Corsair at about 8 MB/s

(sorry, no one seems to have done a direct comparison)

Rebate processed through www.status-now.com and good thru 11/30/08

I'd say worth extra $4 if you need one now...sure you can always wait on these as they continue going down in price...

Enjoy.

i didnt see any reviewer with a faster write speed than 16 MB/s, doubt it can hit 20 MB/s for such a low price.

oops, correction, saw this:

FAT32 testing with QuickBench:
Patriot XT Read 24.9 MB/sec Write 16.6 MB/sec.

NTFS testing with QuickBench:
Patriot XT Read 24.9 MB/sec Write 19.4 MB/sec.
Writing 6510 files totaling 1.53 GB with MS file copy:
Patriot XT started with 9.35 MB sec and progressively decreased to 1.79 MB/sec. Rate than increased to 2-3 MB/s
Total copy time was 540 seconds for an average write rate of 2.83 MB/sec.

Impressive.
