Patriot Announces VP4300 Lite M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD

Patriot Memory, a leading manufacturer of high-performance enthusiast memory modules, SSDs, flash storage and gaming peripherals, has announced the upcoming release of their newest Gen 4 x4 SSD, the VP4300 Lite M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD. With lightning-fast read speeds of up to 7400 MB/s and harnessing Patriot Viper's new cooling technology, the VP4300 Lite is designed to take gaming to new heights. Along with NVMe 2.0 support, a special edition ultra-thin graphene cooling heat spreader built and capacities of up to 4 TB, the VP4300 Lite will deliver a powerful balance of speed, performance and storage that includes everything gamers could need.

The VP4300 Lite will also be fully compatible with the PlayStation 5, offering sequential read speeds of up to 6100 MB/s as the first PC-PS5 compatible SSD from Patriot Viper to bring supreme performance to PC and console gamers alike. "It is our pleasure to introduce the VP4300 Lite as our newest Gen 4 x4 SSD," said Les Henry, VP of N. America and S. America Sales. "The VP4300 Lite represents our push to keep revolutionizing gaming storage solutions, and we're proud to offer an SSD built both for PC and console gamers."
The VP4300 Lite will receive an official release date later in 2023.

To get those claimed speeds, it's mostly likely the latest rev of the Phison E18 or Innogrit 5236, or some variant thereof :)

Probably the Maxio MAP1602 (DRAM-less). Still too early for the SM2268XT and E27T (and I haven't seen the TC2201 really at all).

Datasheet states it's DRAM-less so probably the Maxio MAP1602.

It's the first time I see a SSD datasheet that doesn't even mention random performance.

Thinking about that, it doesn't even matter because we know it will be around 1M IOPS, and no SSD manufacturer has ever stated QD1 or low-QD random IOPS, which we're far more interested in.

FFS, stop promoting speed and start delivering larger capacity. I'd be more than happy with an 8TB TLC drive that "only" offered 3GB/s read/write, but had at least 200GB SLC cache and sustained write speed of > 1GB/s for whole drive, didn't need a heatsink and was under $700AUD

Once you give up on M.2, the choice suddenly becomes better.

In Germany, a 7.68 TB Kingston DC1500M in U.2 size can be had for around 460 EUR, and after deducing the 19% VAT and adding 10% GST, it amounts almost exactly to your wishful price and specifications. Sustained speed is great I guess (but didn't check) as this is a datacenter SSD. Now I don't know if the AU market is more screwed up than the EU market, maybe it is, maybe it's not.
