Insane speeds of 200Mbs, Small size, Not requiring special motherboards to use this Drive, Looks good enough to show it off to your buddies.
Slightly high price
The best way to describe the performance of the Patriot Torqx SSD. It is like taking 600 CCs of Epinephrine and directly injecting that into our standard HDDs. This drive is absolutely insanely fast, Even though I did not test an OS on this drive I ...

The last drive I looked at from Patriot was the 64GB Torqx, which performed well - often beating the vaunted Intel SSD. This drive is no different in that respect. It's better. In the 58 tests I ran, the Patriot 128GB Torqx came out even or better tha...
10 year Warranty, Wiper tool, New firmware right away, Read performance, Write performance, No stuttering...

After using this drive as my main OS drive for about two weeks now, I can say that I am sold on the merits of the latest generation of solid state drives. Having gotten used to using an Intel SSD, I was afraid that the stuttering problems of the earli...
Excellent performance, 2.5” to 3.5” bay converter included, TEN year warranty
Price is a little high, Little slow on the Wiper.exe release front, Little slow on the firmware update front
