Patriot Memory Rage R550 64GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A+C USB flash drive

Dual-interface USB flash drive

The Patriot Rage R550 provides 64 GB of storage in a single drive that carries both USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C connectors. It is aimed at users who move files between older Type-A desktops and newer Type-C laptops, tablets or phones without carrying separate adapters. The keyhole loop lets the drive stay on a key ring for everyday carry. Compatibility spans Windows 7 through 11, Linux 2.4+ and macOS 10.6+.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Sequential read and write speeds reach 100 MB/s, so large media folders or backups move in steady streams rather than short bursts. The dual connectors do not change that ceiling; whichever port you use, the controller delivers the same rated throughput. No active cooling is present, so extended writes will remain at the quoted speed until the drive fills or the host throttles.

Pre-purchase checks

Verify that each target device physically accepts either a Type-A or Type-C plug and runs one of the supported operating systems. Confirm the host port supplies enough bus power for a flash drive; some low-power tablets or older hubs may limit performance. Ensure you need 64 GB specifically, because the line also offers 32 GB and larger capacities up to 1 TB.
