Conclusion
Although the Patriot PS-100 has some firmware issues with regard to the write speeds, it is still an ideal drive simply because of its consistent sequential read results. The firmware issues are nagging on this reviewer’s mind a little and one could not (at this point) recommend this drive for a high-performance boot system. However given the price-point of the drive one can recommend it for the following reasons:
If one wishes to take all the facts present into account – the write times, sequential reads, drive consistency, price and functional use – then we would give this a drive a seven out of ten rating. No, the write times are not fantastic (until a firmware update) but for the reason that the sequential reads are consistent and fast, in addition to its price point! For those that are upgrading from a traditional hard drive with Windows XP installed, then for around £140 a consumer can have a major upgrade; consisting of the Patriot PS-100 and a OEM copy of Windows 7 premium (64 bit edition) In any person’s eyes, that is a very attractive upgrade indeed!
If this reviewer were to compare this product to that of sculpture; then one would say that this is a work of beauty, but marred by a few scars.
Pros:
- Best sequential read speeds on any 32gigabyte SSD drive
- Price, Price and Price!
Cons:
- Abysmal Write Speeds, due to an immature firmware!
