Patriot Memory Updates SSD Line With Pyro SE Series
Patriot Memory updates its SSD lineup with the release of the Pyro SE SSD series, which utilizes synchronous MLC (multi-level cell) NAND Flash memory versus asynchronous MLC (multi-level cell) NAND Flash memory.
Pyro SE 240 GB SSDPatriot Memory Pyro SE SSD is a 2.5-inch form-factor based on the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and the SandForce SF-2281 controller. The Pyro SE will be offered in 60 GB, 120 GB and 240 GB capacities. In addition, the drives include DuraClass, DuraWrite, TRIM support and comes with a 3-year warranty. The Pyro SE's performance is expected to deliver sequential read and write speeds of 550 MB/s and 520 MB/s, along with a maximum 4K random write of 85,000 IOPS.
"The Patriot Memory Pyro SE will offer increased performance while still maintaining our aggressive pricing strategy”, says William Lai, Patriot Memory’s Product Manager. “The Patriot Memory Pyro SE will be the ultimate choice for performance users looking to increase productivity while not bankrupting their budget.”
Though pricing has not been announced, users should expect the pricing for the drives to be close to the current pricing of the Pyro SSD drives: 60 GB - $110, 120 GB - $205, and 240 GB - $440. Read more on the new Patriot Memory's Pyro SE SSDs at the product page.
A LOT more reliable.
Wait so they're faster and more reliable and you're bitching about the cost of $/GB not dropping?
You just sound like you're bitter because you jumped the gun.
I'm not bitter. I'm pretty happy with my ssd especially since i got it on sale and it ended costing $1.4/gb. I'm just say that the market for them won't expand like we'd like if prices stay the same.
It's nice that theyre improving in specs, but the bigger the market the more competitive it becomes and the better it is for us as consumers.
Why would you wanna put movies on your SSD if you have a data drive? That's just a huge waste of space.
not exactly...
i want one of these for storage, as i have a crap ton of little files, and moving between folders sometimes can take up to 5 minutes. i have taken certain measures to prevent this, such as splitting up 200000 files into 5000 chunks.
but i need 180gb minimum for my purposes, and i want 2tb of space, all ssd, and i can have a separate 6tb set assaide for a 2tb back up of the ssd, 2tb of non ssd storage, and 2tb backup of the 2tb storage
I would sort of disagree...because that's unrealistic, seeing that a 160GB drive costs around $300 as of now. $1/GB is an acceptable price to pay for that kind of performance. something should separate a SSD from an HDD in terms of price as well. I mean they're like 3 to 10x faster (or more).
depends on the application... for me it would be close to 100x faster than a hdd
does it relate to the the notification of i/o completion?
A few weeks ago I bought a Corsair Force 3 120gb SSD for $135(after $30 rebate) which is just a touch over $1/gb!!!!!
