Dual-interface USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive

The Patriot R550 1TB combines USB Type-A and Type-C connectors on a single drive, letting you move files between legacy computers, modern laptops, tablets and smartphones without carrying separate adapters. A built-in keyhole keeps the drive attached to a key ring for everyday portability.

Practical limits of USB 3.2 Gen 1

Sequential read and write speeds reach up to 100 MB/s, which is the ceiling of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface; actual throughput will vary with the host controller, file sizes and system load. The drive draws power from the port, so sustained transfers on bus-powered hubs may throttle if total current exceeds the hub budget.

What to check before ordering

Verify that your devices expose either a USB Type-A or Type-C port running at USB 3.2 Gen 1 or higher to achieve the rated speed. Confirm operating-system support: Windows 7 through 11, Linux kernel 2.4 or later, and macOS 10.6 or later are required for native driverless operation.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 32 GB or the 1 TB version of this Patriot R550?

Choose the 1 TB model if you move large media libraries or full system backups; the 32 GB model is enough for documents and a few gigabytes of photos.

What does the 100 MB/s read speed mean when I copy files to my laptop?

A 10 GB video folder will transfer in roughly two minutes instead of five, so big batches finish noticeably faster.

Does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C connector limit speed on older ports?

On a USB 2.0 port the drive drops to that port's maximum; on any USB 3.2 Gen 1 or newer port it reaches the stated 100 MB/s.
