Patriot has formally launched its first solid-state drives that includes a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface geared toward demanding customers. The Viper PV553 SSD makes use of the corporate’s all-new lively cooling system boasting an aluminum radiator, a blower fan, and a particular warmth defend that guarantees to make sure the absolute best cooling for constant efficiency beneath excessive workloads.
Set to be accessible in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB configurations, Patriot’s Viper PV553 makes use of Micron’s 232-layer 3D TLC NAND reminiscence and we presume Phison’s PS5026-E26 controller as Patriot is a loyal companion of the Taiwan-based SSD controller developer.
As for efficiency, Patriot charges its 2 TB and 4 TB PV553 for sequential learn/write speeds of as much as 12,400 MB/s and 11,800 MB/s in addition to as much as 1.4 million random 4K learn and write IOPS. In the meantime, the 1 TB mannequin is barely slower and presents learn/write speeds of as much as 11,700 MB/s and 9,500 MB/s in addition to as much as 1.3/1.4 million learn/write IOPS.
The drives are available an M.2-2280 form-factor and are appropriate with desktops which have ample house inside as Patriot’s Viper PV553 SSDs are outfitted with fairly a unprecedented cooling system to remove 11W of thermal energy that they’ll dissipate. The cooler (which includes a 16.5 mm z-height) employs a relatively huge aluminum radiator that covers each the controller and reminiscence chips, a blower fan, thermal pads on either side of the drive, and an aluminum casing — which the corporate calls warmth defend — that directs air produced by the fan by way of the radiator’s fins to maximise cooling efficiency.
The in depth cooling is meant to make sure that Patriot’s Viper PV553 drives sustains efficiency even beneath extreme workloads. In reality, Patriot says that the cooler ensures that the drive maintains temperature at about 45ºC in regular room temperature circumstances.
In the meantime, PV553 SSDs will not be Patriot’s quickest drives. Not too long ago the corporate demonstrated its Viper PV573 SSDs that use Micron’s B58R 3D TLC NAND with a 2400 MT/s information switch price and supply a sequential learn and write pace of as much as 14,000 MB/s and 12,000 MB/s, respectively. That drive will maybe get extra advantages from the brand new cooling system, however it is going to be accessible at a later date.
As it’s all the time the case with Patriot’s premium SSDs, the Viper PV553 drives are backed by a five-year guarantee and are assured to maintain 700, 1400, and 3000 terabytes to be written.
