Patriot Wildfire 120GB SSD Review

By MaximumPC, published 09-08-2011

This isn’t Patriot’s first rodeo. The company’s Torqx drive (reviewed September 2009) was one of the best Indilinx SSDs on the market for a while, and the Inferno (October 2010) was a perfectly cromulent first-gen SandForce drive, only lagging behind those SF-1200-based SSDs with specially tweaked “Max IOPS” firmware. The Wildfire (a name that actually seems like a step down from Inferno) is Patriot’s first SF-2281-based drive, and we put the 120GB version through its paces. The 120GB Wildfire SSD consists of an SF-2281 controller and eight 128Gb (that’s gigabits, not bytes) Toshiba 32nm NAND flash packages on a 6Gb/s SATA bus.

Another competent SandForce drive from a lesser-known manufacturer In our quest to cover the latest and greatest technology, we’re sometimes guilty of neglecting perfectly cromulent SKUs from smaller manufacturers. The Phoenix Pro series of solid-state drives is built on the same SandForce SF-1200 controller that powers top-of-the-line drives like OCZ’s Vertex 2 series, Patriot’s Inferno, and Corsair’s Force. With new controllers on the way, SandForce drives, especially at lower capacities, will become good candidates for first-time SSD adopters. With that in mind, we’ll take a look at G.Skill’s 60GB Phoenix Pro. Can a company better known for gaming RAM deliver a compelling SandForce drive at a decent price point? The chassis of an SSD is not worth remarking on, unless it’s ...

Patriot Inferno 120GB Solid State Drive Review

By jonnyGuru, published 21-01-2011

We just started working with Patriot with our review of the Xporter XT Rage 32B Flash Drive. Well today we have another storage product from them, the Inferno 120GB Solid State Drive. This solid state drive is based off the SandForce SF-1200 controller. If you have been following solid state drives over the past year you know that the SandForce controller is what everyone is using in their new drives. This drive boasts read speeds up to 285MB/s, write speeds up to 275MB/s, native TRIM support and integrated DuraClass Technology. Letâ??s check out the Inferno and see how it performs compared t o other SandForce-based drives.
