Two Pico-C 8 GB I bought recently do not reliably boot cold and even not every time I reboot from a running system. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to apply to newer ones. In an earlier post I was positive about my Supertalent Pico-C 8 GB I bought in 2008 (fast and always cold booting).
PATRIOT USB DRIVE FORMATTER TOOL PLUS
What's not obvious about the SD Plus card is that it has an activity LED hidden behind one of the SD card contact pins if you're wanting visual feedback for when stuff is being written to the card. It's what I use in my Dockstar right now. If you want something fast and reliable and don't mind paying a little extra for it. IMHO, Patriot thumbdrives are not worth using at any price. I complained about this on the product page on NewEgg and their official response was that booting from their USB drives is an unsupported feature! It would be an incomplete implementation of the USB spec if that were intentional. They work fine one minute, they stop working that way the next and there's absolutely nothing changed aside from adding files to it. They all have developed problems that should never have happened in the first place. (this one: )īy this point, having multiple problems with multiple models of Patriot branded flash drives, I pretty much just tell everyone to avoid them like the plague.

I still use mine as the boot drive for Ubuntu on my netbook. MicroSD cards in USB readers are larger than those and slower! With some careful soldering work, it'd be really easy to wire one of those up internally to the dockstar and hide it inside the case with room to spare. They're surprisingly decent for what one might expect such a small packaging to be capable of. The version that is NOT in a swivel keychain type package.
