| Patriot Hellfire M.2 NVMe SSD Review Up next in our review carousel is another very fast M.2 PCIe NVMe-based SSD. With only Toshiba/OCZ and Samsung generally competing in this enthusiast space, it will be nice to see some more competition. To that end, our friends at Patriot have kindly sent over their 480 GB Hellfire M.2 SSD. The Hellfire promises to be pretty quick using its Phison PS5007-E7 controller shared by others in the market. Let’s dig in a bit and see what makes the Hellfire tick, and see how it performs in our testing. Specifications and Features Below is the Specifications table. We see it pairs the 8-Channel Phison PS5007-E7 controller and the Toshiba 15 nm MLC NAND for its storage and controller purposes. Patriot lists performance as 3000 MB/s sequential reads and 2400 MB/s sequential writes. Random 4K IOPS come in at 170K and 220K respectively. These drives come in at the m.2 2280 size, approximately 8cm x 2.2cm x .31cm. Although last year at Computex, I recall seeing a 110 mm 1 TB Hellfire, but we haven’t seen it in the wild yet. The drive has a rating of two million hours MTBF to go along with 350 TBW (terabytes written) for the 480 GB drive. I am confident writes will not be an issue on this drive as it hasn’t been in the SSD world for a few generations now. With that, Patriot offers a 3-Year warranty for the drive. This is a bit behind others in the same segment, but still what most would consider enough. http://www.overclockers.com/patriot-...me-ssd-review/ |
