   When Patriot send us the SuperSonic Mini a while back we all liked its tiny size, the rubber weatherproof exterior coating and its very good read & write speeds although i have to admit that we never really liked its looks. Because of that i was wondering if and when Patriot would invest in releasing the same drive but with a metal housing and today i think that the Spark seems to be that drive (at least the 32GB model) since it performs on par with the SuperSonic Mini (well perhaps not the same exact components but you get the point). Now i would like to see a protection cap used with the Spark but so far I’ve yet to see a metal/aluminum USB flash drive similar to the Spark that has one so it can't be helped.

 

   With a price tag currently set at USD34.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 45Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) the Spark 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive by Patriot is certainly not the cheapest 32GB USB 3.0 compatible flash drive in the market but it's the only one which combines a tiny size with a metal housing and very good read/write speeds. Of course not every single person out there cares about getting such a tiny USB 3.0 flash drive especially when there's a small price premium involved but people who do care can't go wrong with it. Overall the Spark 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive has everything going for it and that's why it gets our Golden Award.
