Conclusion:

The Patriot Memory Gauntlet Node portable wireless drive enclosure solves the problem of carrying large amounts of data and sharing it among mobile devices. With it you can install a 2.5" hard drive or solid state drive of your choice, and create a truly mobile storage device. Bi-directional file sharing allows the user to back-up those important files on their tablet or smartphone while on the go.

While the Gauntlet Node is a great device to have for daily usage or for traveling, there are a few enhancements that are necessary. On tablets with a SD card, the device should allow you to access those files. In addition, being able to connect to a WiFi network while connected to the Node is great, but don't forget about those hidden SSIDs. They need to be available as well. Finally, while it supports several codecs for streaming the files, it would be nice if it supported more. Also, while downloading the files from the Node to the mobile device is an option, large files can take some time.

The Patriot Gauntlet Node can be found online for just under $100 at places like Amazon.com. As a USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure, this is rather expensive, toss in the wireless connectivity, it becomes more interesting and reasonable.

The Patriot Gauntlet Node wireless portable enclosure earns the Bigbruin.com "Recommended" and "Great Idea" awards for the features and performance of the device.
