Patriot Pyro 120GB SSD Review

AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

This drive suffers in this test because AS SSD uses incompressible data. Sequential results are therefore lower than they would be in the real world, under normal conditions. The more expensive Patriot Wildfire handles incompressible data much better, as can be seen in the images above.

  1. excellent, I like the price. I wonder how much of a deal incompressible data is in real world terms however. perhaps if you are moving videos and stuff about?

  2. Good price indeed for a 2281. Amazon shall be getting my custom this weekend.

  3. Nice price point, under £200 is good for me, but im still trying to hang on for the ‘next best thing’ as I can only afford to upgrade a system every 24 months.

  4. I bought their wildfire 2 weeks ago and I love it. has completely changed my system.

    Word of advice to people who dont think SSD’s are worth the money. TRY ONE ! you won’t be disapointed.
