This is Amazon, buddy. If you want info that detailed, google a site that reviews flash drives. I will say that this drive is insanely fast transfering large video files (175mb to several GB's) compared to every other drive I've tried, including: HP v125 USB Flash Drive P-FD4GBHP125-AZ SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash Drive SDCZ36-004G Kingston Digital USB 2.0 Hi-speed Datatraveler Flash Drive DT101G2/4GBZ All of these drives would write at a sustained 3.2 MB/s which was painfully slow and this Patriot drive does 17.5 MB/s. It's over 5x faster.

I had the manual in my briefcase when I borrowed this tablet for one day. Return the tablet but forgot about the manual. I really did not need to use the manual to operate this unit. It operates very similar to any Android phone/tablet. I would recommend you to have a friend with Android knowledge to show you, in less than 15min you will know how to use it.

you need to format it first on your phone before using it. what phone are you using to format it. again to eric, it needs to be formatted first in your phone.

Can't answer your question regarding numbers, however, I got this as a present for a friend and he reports easy installation and it seems to work just fine with his system, which he's had for a number of years.

I never really thought about it so I just browsed to si.com and looked at a page with lots of graphics. It's hard to measure, maybe a tenth of a second or two. I would say it's pretty quick but not instantaneous. It is definitely faster than the first gen iPad I replaced.

I have read so many bad reviews on this player, but it is on the NetLibrary tested list and I am trying to get set up to download and play books while I exercise. The bookmark feature seems very important. How important is it to you? How do you recharge your batterY? How do you replace your battery? How is the joystick? How difficult is setup?

The rear bay and/or "highest-numbered bay" (#2 on the 2-bay unit, and #4 on the 4-bay unit) is normally the SOURCE (the one you copy "from"). The lower-numbered bays are usually the TARGET (Destination) drive bays. Read the writing on the devices, it is small, but it does list which is which. Double-check before using, because models change from time to time! Copy speed is acceptable, as far as I can tell. 500 GB drive, mostly-full, copied in less than 4 hours - I cannot give specifics, because it was finished when I came back 4 hours later.

I brought 1 and have no issues with it. The person that made me buy it uses it to downlaod movies onto and if there was a problem he would have definetly said something. When I open my movie folder it opens up right away, again no issues with speed or anything.

I don't use it often. I use it for work sometimes to have a slide show of my products. I can't remember the fastest and slowest but you CAN control it. You have a choice as well between having it end at the last picture, or continue to loop around. You can also set it to randomly choose pictures or if to keep it in the order that you have it on the memory card. It's very simple and nice to use. I wish all electronics were so simple.

I'm not positive about that specific question, because I bought it for my son, not for myself. I will tell you what he said after he tried using it..."it's a piece of crap and the software is horrible".

Yes. Unit retains format. I just tested on my unit and format stayed locked in even when turned on and off. I switched modes and format followed.

Thanks. The write-up doesn't mention it, nor does the user manual. I appreciate your reply.

"Formatting the card will definitely speed things up over an un-formatted card."Thank you Les. I follow your logic. Also, do you know how to format a card?Thanks again!

Just plug it in the 360 and there will be a pop up that says it has to be formatted would you like to do so now but if you buy like 2 I think you only have to format one. I should add formatting dosent do anything you can still use it for computing and stuff but formatting erases everything on it then down loads some software on it

A lot of times the device can do it in the settings, other than that put it in your comp right click>format> FAT32 (usually)> then hit start.

Hhmmm....not sure but it hasn't run out yet so I'm sure it must be standard with most other devices. I don't have the manual handy right now.

There is a very small amount for the formatting. I've been able to get around 23 gigs on a disc. When highlighting files being transferred, it gives a total of those files so you don't go over the allotment. I had no problems with these discs. I hope this helps you.
