At CES 2024, the oldsters over at Patriot had a particular SSD to point out us. Meet the Patriot Viper PV573, a brand new PCIe 5.0 SSD that brings collectively Phison’s enhanced E26 Max14um controller and Micron’s new B58R 2400 MT/s TLC NAND. With this {hardware} combo, Patriot can ship sequential learn speeds of 14 GB/s, pushing the boundaries of PCIe 5.0 storage.
What’s most spectacular about this drive is that it’s surprisingly cool operating. This drive runs at beneath 45 levels Celsius beneath load, due to new SSD controller thermal optimisations and Patriot’s low profile Viper cooling answer.
Phison additionally proven us a barely slower model of this drive referred to as the Viper PV553, which delivered 12.4 GB/s sequential learn speeds. This drive makes use of Phison’s commonplace E26 SSD controller, not its newer Max14um variant, which is why it runs barely slower. Even so, each of those new Phison SSDs are extremely quick.
With its heatsink, each of Phison’s Viper sequence SSDs are 16.5mm thick, and the included fan with their heatsink is rated for 25,000 hours of operation. With this heatsink answer, customers don’t want to fret about thermal throttling beneath load. That stated, this fan’s energy connector is a bit on the clunky facet. Then once more, that’s the price of peak efficiency.
If Patriot’s sales space had a theme at CES, it might be “Pushing the Limits of {Hardware}”. At their enhance we noticed quick DDR5 reminiscence, ultra-fast storage gadgets, and new applied sciences that can usher within the subsequent period of quick DDR5 reminiscence. Our time with Patriot received us excited, and we will likely be reporting extra on the corporate’s exploits quickly.
You’ll be able to be a part of the dialogue on Patriot’s Viper PV553 SSD on the OC3D Boards.
