Abstract: Solid State Drives (SSDs) are flash-based storage devices that have taken the computer world by storm over the last few years. They remain very expensive overall, though prices are dropping and increased competition in the market will continue that do...

Slightly high price
The best way to describe the performance of the Patriot Torqx SSD. It is like taking 600 CCs of Epinephrine and directly injecting that into our standard HDDs. This drive is absolutely insanely fast, Even though I did not test an OS on this drive I ...

Excellent performance, 2.5” to 3.5” bay converter included, TEN year warranty
Price is a little high, Little slow on the Wiper.exe release front, Little slow on the firmware update front
Believe it or not, when we first started writing this review, things didnt look too good for the Torqx. Its price was higher than the other Indilinx Barefoot-equipped units, its warranty wasnt quite what we were looking for and Patriots website did...

The cost per gigabyte for solid state drives has a very wide range these days. The two PhotoFast drives that were included in the benchmark results both cost close to 1000 USD and the Crucial M225 is around the 500 Dollar mark. The Patriot Torqx M2...

Patriot has always impressed us with their solid state drive offerings and the Torqx is no exception. The synthetic benchmarks show that the Torqx has a lot of potential even though the real world numbers only show the drive performing with the pack...
