Introduction

Patriot has over 25 years of experience in the field of DRAM and flash memory. Being headquartered in the United States they promise leading quality without compromise for quality. The Patriot Torqx 2 128 GB SSD is based on the less-well-known Phison PS3105 flash controller which is a cost effective alternative to more expensive controllers from Indilinx or SandForce, for example. Patriot is targeting the drive specifically at users who do not yet have the fast SATA 6 Gbps interface in their computer. Unlike SandForce drives, there is no overprovisioning so the users will have maximum capacity at their disposal.
