Patriot Warp v3 - 256 GB SSD - Worlds first review

[Mads321]

Hi there.

We were fortunate enough to be the first world wide to test Patriots new performance 256 GB SSD.

Depending on the test, we've not only reached the specified limits of 240 MB/s read speed (250 MB/s is the maximum that SATA can handle) and 160 MB/s write speed - we've surpassed them. The disk doesn't seem to care if it is filled to its rims with data, and in some cases it even improved its performance. Almost regardless of which system you're upgrading from, a disk like this will give you one of those very rare "wow" experiences, that the hardware-industry only rarely offers. To put it simply, the difference is so immensely huge that it is a must to try it, and besides that, there's another huge advantage: no noise! no squeeking or crunching at all!

As this will be the first real SSD review on my personal behalf, I'm sure I have something either missing or mayby even wrong (yikes), but I hope you can at least appriciate the benchmarks done, as the numbers should speak for themselves

EDIT: our server has gone down..

Meanwhile, here's a little recap of some of the benchmarks:
