Both drives deliver very high performance results in all the tests. The Pyro SE has a very minor performance advantage when the software takes all the results into the overall score.
With the current price of hard drives, its even better value.
Wow very nice, shame they didnt bring out the pyro se for £300 inc vat. might have made more sense with Wildfire drops in price.
Wildfire getting an SE too ?
Its tough to know with so many SF 2281 drives on market. they aren’t all equal but I bet most people wouldnt know if a system had a SATA 6 GB or 3GB drive in it, under real world conditions.
The 120GB sounds like good value, how come you pay over double the price for double the storage (120>240gb)? is that a mistake?
@ chief maggot. The high density NAND flash is more expensive so thats why. They aren’t just adding another 16 modules into the PCB. each one is twice the capacity.
Lovely, ill have two of those for my next system (pyro se)
Patriot make great drives. Good memory too.
Might look into a 120gb se before holidays
Still waiting on hard drive prices to drop, so i can get a 2tb for storage.
Anyone know if i would notice much real world increases over a first gen ssd? Kingston
@lank, have you a motherboard with sata 3 ports?
Yeah, very nice. Im quite happy with my corsair force, even if its aged a bit
Hard to go wrong with a sf2281. Do patriot offer direct warranty or is it via the store?
I got a lot of hassle trying to replace a faulty ocz last year
