  • Only for desktops without a built-in M.2 SSD heatsink. A good Phison E12-Toshiba NAND combo drive
Capacity: 1TB
The media could not be loaded. EDIT (10/20/2020): The drive is unfortunately dead now. I will not reduce the rating yet since to be upfront it could've just been my fault. I did a GPU upgrade to a 5700 XT, but my power supply was only 550W. Given some forums showed this minimum PSU requirement should be OK, I figured I would have no problems. However, a week after using it I kept having BSODs until this happened. I changed motherboard and changed GPUs and it still was the same. However, upon changing the PSU to an 850W, and using other NVME drives, it was working fine again for my PC. So while I can't rule out chances of this drive dying on its own, considering this NVME drive also uses PCIe alongside the GPU, and it only happened after using the newer GPU, the PSU could've also not been able to handle both of them. Plus even well established brands like WD can have unexpected issues too - I remember the first reviews of the WD SN750 as it came out here on Amazon had one person reporting failure immediately. So I will leave this update just to inform to be prepared. Currently using it for three months as my storage drive for everything, works great so far and expect it will continue to last long until this review is updated. I have seen Patriot be mentioned with a bad reputation from a posts in Anandtech's comments as well as some sellers of PC components here in the Philippines. Their Burst SATA SSD lineup supposedly had a higher rate of failure. I understood that and at the same time thought that given the components they were putting in here were sound - a Phison E12 controller and Toshiba NAND - and that regardless of whether Patriot's reputation of being bad or just OK, it would be even more terrible for Patriot to gimp this SSD and ruin themselves even more, so I felt that taking the risk to get this would be worth it. Plus the cool-looking heatsink and packaging attracted me towards this (although Tom's Hardware did say the heatsink isn't that effective). Keep in mind, the heatsink is non-removable so it will work best ONLY on desktops and if the motherboard you got has no built-in heatsink for M.2 SSDs in the first place. If you'll need a good NVME M.2 SSD without a heatsink, you can just grab either a Silicon Power P34A80, MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro, Addlink S70, Teamgroup MP34, Corsair MP510, PNY CS3030, or any other Phison E12-Toshiba combo drive on the "cheap". Lastly, a word about the photos and video: 1) The CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 benchmark showing 3470.2MB/s read and 3051.8MB/s write (sequential) is with write caching enabled for Windows. This supposedly improves system performance, but does reduce the SSD's endurance by just a small bit. 2) The SSD as it is on a B450M Mortar. 3) The CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 benchmark showing 3470.4MB/s read and 653.3MB/s write (sequential) is with write caching disabled for Windows, to reduce caching and improve SSD endurance. I was surprised when this happened and thought it was a possible defect or whatnot of the drive to drop that low in writes, but upon further searches in Google this appears to be normal. In fact the real-world performance for write speeds still gets higher than this. 4) Info about the drive from HWInfo itself. Don't have a UPS yet and there was an issue with the wall outlet at home that caused the multiple unsafe shutdowns. 5) Video showing me copying a 14.2GB folder of the Vampyr game to a folder named Steam for testing (not the actual Steam folder, I already had it installed, just didn't want to mess with that). The source is a Samsung PM961 128GB SSD inside a Plugable USB-C NVME enclosure. It copied it at 18 seconds, going as high as 843MB/s and hovering around 800MB/s~ for the most part until the end. This is with write caching still disabled which means that CrystalDiskMark's sequential write info don't tell the whole story. ... show more

  • Interesting M.2 drive installation experience
This M.2 drive is relatively inexpensive and delivers remarkable speeds. Testing with Crystal Disk Mark 6 the read speed is hitting a consistent 34XX MB/s which places the drive right up there with drives costing twice as much. The write speed now caused me some grief initially. The specification says that the write speed can be up to 3000 MB/sec but all I was seeing was 629 MB/s which is terribly slow. I cloned my original drive using Acronis True Image, a procedure that I have used dozens of times, so that I could simply remove the original drive and plug in the new drive. To make a long story short I ended up having to use the powershell and executing a manual TRIM command on the drive to make it work correctly. When the TRIM command finished I was magically seeing write speeds in the 2200 MB/sec range. On the NewEgg site that is the published write speed for the drive so I am happy with the drive performance. The drive has what I consider to be, a large attractive heat sink that keeps the thermals in the 35C to 45C doing normal tasks and large file copy operations. I have not seen any throttling like I have seen with other M.2 drives without any heatsink. At first glance I was concerned that the heatsink might be so tall that it would interfere with the GPU installation, but the concern was unnecessary because there was enough clearance for the drive to fit perfectly. Now if you have a motherboard that has built in heatsinks over the M.2 sockets then you would have to remove the motherboard heatsink to install the drive. You may or may not like the appearance of the drive plugged into your motherboard without the sleek appearance of the motherboard heatsink, but it would totally depend on the motherboard. Initially I was hesitant to purchase the Viper drive because I considered it to be an off brand and I was not sure how reliable it would be. I have purchased two of these drives (a 512GB and a 1TB drive) and as far as I can tell they are comparable with drives costing twice as much. I will certainly consider the Patriot Viper line of drives on future purchases. If you are looking for a decently priced drive with high-end performance then this may be the drive for you. I almost failed to mention that I purchased the drive one day and it was delivered the next (I am a prime member). I do not know how Amazon does it, but I am very pleased with the speed of their deliveries. ... show more

  • Very good SSD
Cooling for M.2 SSD's is essential. dont be a fool and bottleneck you system. just make sure you have proper airflow in your case, my SSD's temps are idle 35C and 38C max under load edit 17/02/2022: The drive suddenly *died* or that's what i thought, i have a Linux dual boot system and the drive completely disappeared from my UEFI BIOS that usually means the drive is dead and not found by the hardware. So i removed the drive and seated it back onto the motherboard, it was again found in the BIOS and till i booted halfway into Windows the drive disappeared again... After i few tries with all same results i booted into Linux, no problem, scanned the drive for its health and all OK. I found out that Microsoft pushed an update to forcibly crash your system or drive by unmounting itself from the system at UEFI BIOS level. Im a software programmer/engineer so upon some digging i found that Microsoft had pushed a custom secure boot certificate in the UEFI BIOS which prevented the drive from being recognised. Nonetheless after deleting the custom certificate and booting halfway into Windows 10 the certificate was pushed back into the UEFI BIOS and the drive disconnected itself from the system. I removed the certificate, password protected access to UEFI and reinstalled Windows 10 to fix, ran the Viper tool to check the health and all OK. Microsoft is using dirty tactics to push people installing Windows 11, if your drive suddenly goes missing it is most likely this problem. My Viper SSD is still alive and kicking with super performance ! ... show more

  • Great SSD!
Capacity: 2TB
I was able to migrate my OS from a 512GB to 2TB and it's all good. The heatsink looks stylish and keeps it from throttling.
