Somewhat Higher Cost Per GB Than Competing Offerings
Can't match the 4KB randomwrite IOPS of Corsair's or OCZ's drives.
Large overprovisioning area
High price
Real-life performance not as impressive as synthetic
In terms of performance, the Inferno manages to produce excellent small file and random write performance that is truly impressive. And that is exactly the type of speed you want in a drive running your operating system and applications. The Patriot dr...

While the performance of the Inferno is nothing we haven't seen from other drives featuring the same controller, the inclusion of the adapter plate and generous five year warranty do help make the Patriot Inferno a compelling choice among its competi...

Patriot's Inferno 100 GB SSD is a typical Sandforce flash drive contender. This also makes it very hard for the drive to separate itself from offerings of other manufacturers. It delivers performance very similar to other Sandforce drives that we teste...
Given what we had already seen from the previous Sandforce-based SSDs, the Patriot Inferno 100GB was never going to disappoint in terms of performance. However while Patriot seems to be leading the industry with their warranty, they are quite behind wh...

The Patriot Inferno drive was a mix of decent speed with unwanted inconsistencies. There were too many ups and downs during the testing that could not give a definitive look at the performance. We have seen this with a few SandForce based drives in th...
The Patriot Inferno is certainly an interesting drive and when we look back upon the results, there is no doubt it is extremely fast when compared to most other SSDs on the market. It offers great performance across every one of the programs you will m...

Patriot has a good mix of exciting add ons and features that make the Inferno a strong contender in the 100 to 128GB capacity / price SSD category. Our testing shows solid performance in every test that far exceeds the mechanical capabilities of tra...
