Patriotov najnovejši PCIe 4.0 SSD je ocenjen za hitrejše delovanje, kot je njegov krmilni čip zgrajen za Patriot Viper VP4300 SSD

Patriot ima novo linijo SSD za visoke hitrosti, the Viper VP4300, and like other recent PCIe 4.0 additions to the marketplace, it dangles read and write speeds in the neighborhood of 7GB/s in front of gamers and power users. It’s being offered in 1TB and 2TB capacities, the latter of which is actually rated to write data faster than the controller chip hardware was seemingly built to handle.

This is not another SSD series built around Phison’s popular and able-bodied E18 controller chip. Instead, Patriot opted for Innogrit’s flagship Krmilnik Rainier IG5236, ki vsebuje osem kanalov NAND in podporo za kapacitete do 8TB. Po besedah ​​Innogrita je IG5236 sposoben zagotoviti do 7,400 MB/s zmogljivosti zaporednega branja in do 6.4 GB/s zmogljivosti zaporednega pisanja.

Patriot claims its 2TB Viper VP4300 hits that max read mark in both ATTO and CrystalDiskMark, two popular storage benchmarking utilities, but says the sequential write speed in both tests hits 6,800MB/s. That’s a not insignificant 400MB/s difference in claimed write performance versus what Innogrit says its controller is capable of handling.

Morda se na prvi pogled zdi kot majhen krompirček, vendar je iztisniti dodatnih 400 MB/s zmogljivosti impresivno, če je Patriot to dejansko storil (nismo preizkusili Viperja VP4300, da bi videli, kako se dejanska zmogljivost primerja z oglaševanimi hitrostmi). Če pogledamo v perspektivo, najhitrejši SSD diski SSD običajno dosežejo največjo hitrost okoli 550–580 MB/s.

To je verjetno posledica nenehnih izboljšav vdelane programske opreme. Naši prijatelji pri AnandTech izpostavil krmilnik IG5236 na sejmu CES lani, za katerega je bilo takrat ocenjeno, da zagotavlja do 7,000 MB/s oziroma 6,100 MB/s zmogljivosti zaporednega branja oziroma pisanja.

In any event, this is another extremely fast PCIe 4.0 SSD. Here’s how it stacks up (on paper) to the competition:

• PNY XLR8 CS3140—7,500 MB/s branje, 6,850 MB/s pisanje
• Patriot Viper VP4300—7,400 MB/s branje, 6,800 MB/s pisanje
• Adata XPG Gammix S70—7,400 MB/s branje, 6,400 MB/s pisanje
• Muškinova gama—7,175 MB/s branje, 6,800 MB/s pisanje
• Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus—7,100 MB/s branje, 6,000 MB/s pisanje
• Teamgroup T-Force Cardea A440—7,000 MB/s branje, 6,900 MB/s pisanje
• Samsung 980 Pro—7,000 MB/s branje, 5,000 MB/s pisanje

Kar zadeva zaporedno pisanje, 1TB Viper VP4300 ni ravno tako hiter kot pogon 2TB, z nazivno hitrostjo še vedno hitrih 5,500MB/s. Vendar pa je nazivna hitrost branja med obema zmogljivostima enaka.

Patriot equipped these SSDs with DRAM cache as well, which can both help speed up certain operations (another possible reason why the 2TB model’s write speed is so high), and increase endurance. In regards to the latter, Patriot rates the endurance of its 1TB model at 1,000 TBW (terabytes written) and the 2TB model at 2,000 TBW. It also backs both drives with a five-year warranty.

Pogoni so opremljeni z dvema hladilnikoma nizkega profila, enega iz aluminija in drugega iz grafena. Za najboljše rezultate, Patriot priporoča (PDF) namestite oba, če imate prostor, z grafenskim toplotnim ščitom na dnu in aluminijastim na vrhu.

Oba pogona sta zdaj na voljo po ceni 440 $ za 2TB različico in 230 $ za 1TB model. Cena zunaj vrat je nekoliko višja kot pri nekaterih konkurentih – 30 $ višja v primerjavi s PNY XLR8 CS3140 brez hladilnika ali 15 $ višja v primerjavi z različico, ki je opremljena z debelim hladilnikom.
