Patriot Torqx2 128GB SSD
Those who have kept up with the progression of solid state drives within the next couple years might notice just how much did the quality and performance of the solid state drive change. Some of the most popular SSD companies including Patriot have come a long way in optimizing their SSDs to not only improve overall performance and quality, but also to make their products more accessible to the general public. Since the release of the first generation TorqX SSDs with the Indilinx controller, the series has undergone a drastic change in improvement, resulting in the release of TorqX 2 with the brand new Phison PS3105-S5 controller, which will be covered in this review. Retailing at $199 USD, the Patriot Torqx2 SATA I/II 128GB drive is considered one of the high end performance drives. However, Torqx2 is not limited to 128 GB, and also comes in storage variations of 32 GB, 64 GB and 256 GB, with price tags of $74.99, $114.99, and $489.99 respectively. The expected performance for this SSD is listed as 270 MB/s read and 230 MB/s write.
Patriot Torqx 128GB SSD review
For the history of the SSD condensed into a single drive, look no further than Patriot's Torqx 128GB. It's been around for the better part of a year and, like the broader SSD category, it's been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. At launch, we had high hopes for the Torqx thanks to its Indilinx Barefoot controller. Various claims were made regarding the power of the Barefoot's ARM based CPU. Sure enough, the Torqx cranked out some seriously impressive sequential read and write numbers. With further testing, however, something awful happened. After our traditional fill-'er-up, delete and format test, the Torqx was laggier than an extremely laggy thing in custard. Just navigating the desktop was a chore punctuated with frequent freezes. But that was then. Several firmware updates have since been released, including one that brought support for the TRIM command in Windows 7. We're also big fans of Indilinx's drive cleaner utility. In theory, the TRIM command is supposed to keep things tidy on the fly by forcing SSDs to fully delete unused data cells rather than merely marking them as available.
