Formatter

Formatter is a compact tool that allows you to easily format your Patriot USB memory stick. The program is designed to help you prepare your removable storage device before using it to store important documents or large files.

Most computer users know that formatting is the operation that makes a hard drive or any storage device usable in Windows or another operating system. In the process, the drive gets a file system which allows the OS to store and retrieve documents, movies and other files.

Although formatting should erase all the data from the drive, the experts can argue that a part of the information is still available in a raw state which makes it a liability if you want to permanently delete certain files.

However, you can still make sure that the essential data is gone by using low-level formatting, a method that writes every bit from the disk. This program is designed to provide you with the possibility to perform a low-level format on Patriot USB storage devices.

The program can only be used with Patriot memory sticks and automatically checks the available USB ports before starting the process. Unfortunately, it does not include any documentation which specifies the supported devices.

Besides performing a complete disk clean-up, this tool is supposed to improve the reading and writing speeds and restore corrupted disk . However, you need to test it for yourself in order to check its effectiveness.

If you own a Patriot drive and need to perform a low level format, the manufacturer provides you with a specially designed tool.
