Just recently we took a look at Patriot's Wildfire SSD that uses a SandForce SF-2281 controller and Toshiba Toggle flash to deliver amazing performance. Today we are looking at the Wildfire of the portable flash drive world, the Supersonic Magnum USB 3.0. This new and improved Magnum offers big capacity sizes just like last year's model, so you can carry entire movie and music collections with you, but the new 8-channel controller paired with USB 3.0 allows you to transfer those files at very high speeds.

Of course, features like 8-channel controllers, USB 3.0 capability and SSD like capacity sizes do come with a steep price and that is going to be a big factor in your purchasing decision. The Patriot Supersonic Magnum is available in just two capacity sizes; 64GB and 128GB. Patriot claims read speeds can reach up to 200MB/s and write speeds up to 120MB/s when used in conjunction with a USB 3.0 host.
