You posted just the negative reviews. Only 10% of all buyers give it a poor or very poor rating. There are a hell of a lot more positive ones. Almost any product, no matter how good, will have its share of nay sayers. 68% are 5 egg reviews, which I think is pretty good for any product there.

For what it's worth, I agree. I haven't used the Patriot product mentioned, but regardless of that fact, if the device worked well for me I'd classify it as worthwhile.

That's the thing folks often forget about product reviews -- they're all individualised. One has no idea what the actual skill set of the reviewer is either (for example, my mother's opinion of flash drives is going to be a lot different than mine!). Newegg's little radio button that lets you rate your own skill set is about useless (the Internet is only full of truthful people, you know!)

And besides, most Newegg reviews (positive and negative) are usually pretty bad. Take them with a grain of salt. Dude this flash drive got me ten more FPS in Crysis!$*()@!$(!@ BUY IT L33T AWESOME

The reviews might be scary, but I see that the manufacturer has posted to most, if not all of them. Give them props for that. Reading some of the reviews you have to say these people won't be satisfied. I washed my drive and now it doesn't work? The rubber will rip if I use it to pull the drive out? Come on, nothing is made for those gorillas.
