Patriot Warp V2 128GB Solid State Drive Review


Wed 2008-12-03 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Benchmark Reviews have just tested the Patriot Warp V2 128GB SATA-II solid state drive.

Let's see what they had to say:

"In conclusion, the Patriot Warp v2 128GB SATA-II SSD has really impressed me. Despite the large 128GB of DRAM capacity it must flash in each cycle, the PE128GS25SSDR produced a swift 0.19 ms response time that is roughly 45x faster than the Western Digital Raptor HDD. The write-to performance was about actually about the same as the Raptor's, while read-from performance was nearly 59% faster; which means less wait time for impatient super-users like myself. I don't expect anyone to be thrilled that the Warp SSD costs considerably more per gigabyte than the WD Raptor or Seagate 7200.11, but when performance is most important there's no denying the second version of Patriot's Warp Solid State Drive."


While this drive looks good on paper and has received positive reviews, I have read an inordinate amount of negative opinions from actual owners, largely with respect to sluggishness when using Outlook 2007. Just keep this in mind if you are considering buying this product.
