OCIA -- SSDs still may be a few years away from mainstream acceptance due to the high cost of ownership versus a spinning drive, but for the enthusiast looking to round out their system or someone wanting to give their notebook a kick in the pants, there is no single upgrade that will do that better than a solid state drive. Today we will be taking a look at a drive from Patriot Memory, the 64 GB Torqx.

 

OCIA -- SSDs still may be a few years away from mainstream acceptance due to the high cost of ownership versus a spinning drive, but for the enthusiast looking to round out their system or someone wanting to give their notebook a kick in the pants, there is no single upgrade that will do that better than a solid state drive. Today we will be taking a look at a drive from Patriot Memory, the 64 GB Torqx.

Motherboards.org -- Even though the price of Solid State Drives is still a bit costly in today’s declining economy there is no doubt that they are the way of the future in terms of storage. The Patriot Torqx is one of the fastest SSD series available today. We take a look at a few synthetic and real world tests to show you how well this 128GB Solid State drive performs. Let’s just say it’s very fast.

TweakTown -- Patriot had a very successful run with the Warp Series drives, some of the most sought after JMicron based products that routinely outperformed products from competing SSD manufacturers. In order to distinguish the JMicron drives from the new Indilinx controlled drives, Patriot needed to let go of the Warp product name. The first press release announced the new drive as the Fusion, but in a last minute decision the name was changed to Torqx. While other companies were rushing to get media and e-tailers their Indilinx SSDs, Patriot was scrambling to get the new packaging ready and the Torqx drives had to sit in a warehouse. With everything finally lining up correctly Patriot is now on a mission to show that with patience comes a superior product.

Futurelooks -- A little while ago, we had a great hands-on experience with the Kingston 128GB V-Series Solid State Drive; an entry level SSD that gave us a usable amount of storage and better than hard disk performance. Most importantly, it was affordable. Today we’ll be checking out something from the folks at Patriot Memory that takes the technology to another level. The new TorqX series is Patriot’s answer to the performance challenge. In this review you’re going to see why we’re dubbing this one a “torque monster”.

Techniz -- Overall, Patriot Extreme Performance (EP Plus) 2GB SD card is the fastest and huge capacity SD card that I ever owned. The EP Plus SD card can be used with mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players, digital cameras and other devices. With the high speed transfer rate up to 133X, you can save a lot of time for it during the read and write activity......
