As long as the firmware is up to date and drivers are running properly, SandForce is still the ideal controller for users who want optimal performance without spending too darn much money. Our testing revealed Patriot’s Inferno 120GB SSD is as good or ...
So where are we after all that testing?It's difficult to say with any certainty. For every test that showed the fearsome potential of the SandForce controller paired to the Intel MLC, we have one that makes it appear like an absolute dog. In relative term...

Sometimes the Patriot was a bit faster, sometimes the Agility 2 took the lead. When it came to battery life the Patriot did noticeably better. Currently the Patriot can be found for a "street price" of $289 online, which do
Looking at the results, the Inferno scores even better than the previous SandForce-based solid-state drive tested, in general. It only really faltered in the Windows 7 boot test, where it was behind by one mere second slower, and the AS SSD benchmark w...
