A new SSD from Patriot is interesting, the company had essentially taken a two year hiatus from the business after struggling to find any momentum. We've long argued that fringe SSD players need to differentiate and appeal to profitable niches, perhaps that's Patriot's hope this time around. Designed to fit inside PCs or notebook, the Patriot Ignite uses the new Phison S10 controller to reach a maximum sequential read and write speeds of up to 560MB/s and 545MB/s respectively using a SATA III 6.0 Gb/s interface.
The Patriot Ignite SATA III SSD also supports operating systems such as Win 7, Win 8, Vista, Mac OS and more and is backed by Patriot’s customer service and three year warranty. In addition, it comes with advanced features such as end-to-end data protection, advanced wear-leveling, smartECC and Smart Refresh.
