Patriot WildFire SSD review: Patriot WildFire SSD

 

Patriot WildFire SSD

The 2.5-inch laptop ; solid-state drive (SSD) comes with a drive-bay converter so it can also fit in a 3.5-inch (desktop) drive bay. It supports SATA 3 (6Gbps) and offers a huge improvement over traditional hard drives.

The Patriot WildFire is expensive and takes a long time to be formatted. Its data transfer speed is comparatively slow.

The Patriot WildFire offers significant performance gain on any computer at a premium cost.

Patriot Wildfire SSD 120GB

 

The Patriot WildFire's cost is on par with most other SSDs, meaning that it's very expensive in terms of cost per gigabyte, at around $550 for 240GB (or $315 for the 120GB version). If you can afford that, you won't be disappointed and will definitely...

Patriot Wildfire 120GB SSD Review

 

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...

Close to front-running performance; high sequential-read speeds; good encode times

Slightly slower and more expensive than the competition

In high-queue-depth 4KB read and write tests in CrystalDiskMark and Iometer, the Wildfire can’t quite match OWC or OCZ’s drives, but it still tops all non-SandForce drives in Iometer with 71,000 IOPS. Premiere Pro encode times were in line with the...

Over the past few months we have taken a look at a number of high performance SSDs from the likes of Intel, Corsair, OCZ and more recently Samsung. Without doubt the most popular controller of this generation is based on Sandforce technology and this...

Patriot Wildfire 120GB 6Gb/s Solid-State Drive Review

 

Today we are taking look at Patriot's Wildfire drive which sports the SandForce SF-2281 drive controller with Toshiba 32nm MLC NAND. It boast sequential read

– Fastest 2.5-inch solid state drive we have tested ; – 2.5-inch mounting bracket included ; – 3 year warranty

– None that I found

Patriot has really proved once again that they can hang with the big boys when it comes to solid state drives. They did this with the Inferno drive and they have done it again with the Wildfire drive. It is not the single fastest 2.5-inch solid state...

Patriot Wildfire 120GB SATA III SandForce SF-2281 SSD Review

 

Before Chuck Yeager's historic flight with the Bell X-1 aircraft, the concept of breaking the sound barrier seemed beyond the capability of even the world's most mathematically gifted engineers and the most daring pilots. Once the barrier had been...

Excellent Performance and Transfer Speeds ; Increased Application Performance and Start Up Times ; 3 year Warranty ; Trim and Garbage Collection (With Proper OS) ; Up to 555MB/s Read and 520MB/s Write ; SandForce SF-2200 Series Controller

None

When making a significant purchase for your home computer system, your first concern should be price performance. The name should not be relevant until you start comparing the benefits of purchasing the name. The benefits I am talking about are...

Patriot WildFire SSD Review

 

The Wildfire is a consumer grade SSD that offers an enterprise grade level of performance.

The Patriot WildFire is the second SF-2281 driven SSD we have tested to date, but it is the first to utilize 32nm MLC NAND memory. The reasoning behind the decision to utilize more expensive memory over the 25nm NAND seen in similar SandForce driven...

Patriot Wildfire 120GB Solid State Drive Review

 

So far it's been like batting practice at the trade shows, but now the rest of the team takes to the field.

In 2010 we didn't have a lot of variation in the actual drives shipping from manufacturers. The only company that didn't use IMFT flash on a SandForce SF-1200 was G.Skill and that was only on the original Phoenix. Everyone else ran 3xnm IMFT flash and...
