Cons: -Jmicron controller - slow random writes-paint chips easily
Pros: -fast access time-fast read-light Comment:
This is actually the first SSD I ever bought. I didn't know about the difference nor the existence of Jmicron controller at the time of purchase, but after spending further time with this piece of hardware and having the Corsair SSD and g.kill SSD (not titan) to compare it with, these are my results:138MB/s max read89MB/s max write0.3ms access timein general the patriot comes in second out of the three in terms of read speed, write speed and random access.I believe this is probably due to the V2 version of the Warp, having an overclocked Jmicron controller vs the slower original version Jmicron controller on the G.Skill (non titant).But it falls victim to the Corsair(samsung) controller, which has alot more IOs/second.I would recommend this drive if you have a little extra cash to spend over the G.skill and don't want to shall out the dough for and Corsair or Intel. |

Cons: Bad random write speeds.
Pros: Monster read speeds.Decent sequential write speeds. Comment:
I bought this with no expectations of super performance, despite hearing all the horror stories about the awful random write performance for multitasking. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised at how fast it is. Haven't had much trouble with the so called random write issues, no locking up for "seconds" before responding or anything like that. I do feel the occasional hiccup, but it doesnt even last for a full second, which is quite acceptable to me since I paid only fifty dollars for it. =D |

Cons: Slows down tremendously with multiple read/writes.
Pros: Fast reads.Non-mechanical. Comment:
Originally planned to use on my laptop, but found that the drive was a bit too small so ended up using in desktop. Useful for installing stuff that doesn't do much writes. As for now, it's a cheap temporary SSD drive. Would recommend to wait for something more refined and reasonably priced. |

Cons: Limited size (enough for my application)
Pros: Very fast, no noise Comment:
Used as main drive for Linux file server, to improve reliability. If you plan to use it in a similar way (desktop or server application), do not forget to get a mounting brackets for standard HDD bay. This review was modfied by poster @ 11-24-08 09:51 PM |

Cons: 32GB is a little small when it comes to windows XP or VISTA HP
Pros: Solid State, Great Life, No Moving Parts Comment:
I have been lookin at getting an SSD for a long time now, this was on sale for 149.99 - 50$ MIR so for 99$ I didn't think I could go wrong. I underestimated the amount of storage I needed I put this unit into my toshiba laptop to see if I could get a better preformance boost over the 250GB 5400 RPM drive I had. There was no preformance increase at all, sure the laptop is much more quiet not but after recovering the laptop using the Toshiba recovery discs I have 2gb of HD space remaining (after installing SP1 and all the available Windows Updates. I was going to putchase the OCZ 64GB or 128GB modle in a few months anyway, but serves me right for jumping at the price and not checking what space I really needed. On an older compaq laptop I have about 8GB's of space since it is running XP home. I might put the drive in that unit when i get my new one, even thought it is just an e-mail machine. |

Cons: 32Gb is enough for XP but if you plan Vista, go for the 64Gbnothing else to say, I am literally amazed by this new technology. HDD has been the weakest part of a computer for several years now, but with SSD, it is not the case anymore, trust me !!!!
Pros: Quietincrease laptop battery lifeSO FAST !!!!!!!!!! (no kidding) Comment:
Played with it for 5 hoursInstalled on my EEE 1000 with a fresh XP install. I AM AMAZED !!!this freaking thing make the EEE faster than my main computer at home running a C2D E8400 / 4 GB Ram / Seagate F1 1Gb HDI am so AMAZED !!!! SSD is really the future !!!thanks again Patriot for the deal ! |
I bought this hard drive for use in my Acer Aspire One. Unfortunately for some reason in the Acer Aspire One it receives subpar read/write speeds. Fortunately I only paid $49.99 for it during the boxing week sale, it isn't worth the full price yet... once performance increases a bit more then the price will be justified.
