One problem plaguing those that want an SSD at the moment is that there really isn't an option for those without deep pockets. There's no way getting round it, SSDs are expensive. However, you can help alleviate this wallet pressure by getting one wit...
While it certainly doesn't blow us away - unless you consider Sandra gospel - the Patriot XRB is a very solid performer. While lower capacities often struggle to compete, this one holds its own with the bigger drives and even beats them to the punch i...

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...

It’s taken a few generations of SSDs for them to mature to a level where they are quirk free and I think ready to replace HDDs. While SSDs are still expensive in cost per gigabyte terms, if you can afford to get one, the performance they bring over...

Solid-state drives (SSDs) present a bit of a conundrum. At its simplest they're like the sports cars of the computer world: you pay a premium for speed, but lose out in terms of practicality (i.e. capacity). Luckily, unlike said sports car, they have the...

Patriot’s first stab at a solid-state drive went by the name of Warp and used the oft-derided JMicron 602 controller. By contrast, the new Torqx series of SSDs makes the switch to the Indilinx Barefoot controller that so impressed us when we reviewed t...
The Patriot Torqx is very similar indeed to the OCZ Vertex, and also to one or two other SSDs on the market. It performed very well. Shame it couldn’t be just a bit cheaper. ® More SSD Reviews... OCZ Vertex Intel X25-M Samsung PB22-J Crucia...

In the past, Solid State Drives have had a couple of reputations. They were fast as could be, as well as offering a snappier "feel" when you were using them, but then would suffer through stuttering and lag as the drive became full. Luckily many of th...

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...

The hard disk drive is an integral part of the computer. Over the years, the hard drive has increased in size but were slow to increase in performance. Spindle speeds were upped to 5400, 7200, 10,000 and even 15,000 RPM in the effort to make sure the...

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...
