Blazing fast, BUT... I have 3 of these. All 3 have died within 2 months of use. Patriot's web forum has lots of users reporting the same. Avoid this drive.

Failed after 3 months

It was the fastest thing in my computer, note I said was! After 3 months of preforming like a champ it died, and just like this drive is quicker than disk drives they fail with 0 warning, unlike a old dick drive that "has problems" before they go, this...

Buy it for the warranty

 

Buy it for the warranty

10 year warranty is nothing to sneeze at. I bought mine 6 months ago, after 1 month it failed on me, and after reading online about it, found out that it was part of a bad batch of them. Sent it in(free shipping), 5 days later had a new one with...

Pass on a Patriot SSD

 

Pass on a Patriot SSD

I bought 2 also back in December and both of mine have failed also. Pass on a Patriot SSD. Their customer support and RMA process is also garbage. I would have gave 0 stars but couldn't.

died after about 4 months

Ater 4 months or so, It just died. I took it to a computer repair shop; nothing doing, completely dead and no way to salvage anything. Total loss of more than $200, plus some important data. There was no warning, not even from a program monitoring all...
