Competition has cheaper models with very similar performance
With each drive averaging in cost at around $300, these drives are definitely not cheap. But when you consider that the next best alternative to having 480GB of SSD space costs on average $500, you really have to weigh what is important to you. You can...
What can we say about the PyroSE that we have not already commented about. It is a very fast drive and will take care of your data. The inclusion of the SandForce controller (possibly the best on the market) makes it attractive as does the use of the Micr...
The top end Wildfire is still the fastest SSD that Patriot offers but it carries a rather lofty price tag to match. Ultimately, the goal of the Pyro SE seems to be aimed at offering enthusiasts a high performance option without the high end price tag. ...
Overall, any drive based on the SandForce controller is going to offer you two things. Amazingly fast new box performance and a ridiculous sense of satisfaction that your drive is among the fastest single controller packages in the world. The differenc...
Patriot has slightly delayed the launch of their SandForce SSDF with synchronous ONFI flash memory, but we can’t come up with any objective reasons justifying this delay. Pyro SE, which falls right in the middle between the other two SSD families from...
Great performance, Competitive Price, 3 year warranty
Weird naming scheme
The Pyro SE from Patriot is a very solid drive. As far as performance goes it is right on par with the other SandFoce-based drives in its class and performs just under its older brother the Patriot Wildfire. Unfortunately we did not test the original...
Patriot’s SandForce SSD lineup is already quite impressive, as both the WildFire and Pyro performing flawlessly for their respective price points. However, adding the Pyro SE to the lineup allows Patriot to offer a drive that performs nearly at the sam...

The Patriot Pyro SE 120GB SATA III SSDThe 120GB Patriot Pyro SE drive we've evaluated here is currently selling for about $205, or $1.70 per gigabyte. The higher-end Patriot WildFire, which uses more expensive Toshiba synchronous NAND flash memory, is sel...
Overall, the Patriot Pyro SE delivered outstanding performance in our synthetic benchmark tests, where it quickly became the drive to beat. It successfully fills the performance gap between the higher-end Patriot WildFire and the budget version of the...
