Patriot Wildfire Series SSDs 500MBs Read/Write and SATA 6.0 Gbs

Super fast SSDs look to be coming on strong now and that means better performance all around, especially in data-intensive gaming sessions where there’s a lot of reading from the drive. GDN will look into doing some speed tests on these and others.

Patriot Memory, a global pioneer in high-performance memory, NAND flash, storage and enthusiast computer products, today announces the new Wildfire series solid-state drives powered by a new SandForce SSD processor. The Patriot Wildfire series obliterates expectations of storage devices and delivers enterprise-class performance to consumer desktops and notebooks.

Storage bottlenecks are a thing of the past with the Patriot Wildfire series SSD. The new SandForce SF-2200 SSD processor enables the Patriot Wildfire series to shatter previous performance records with up to breathtakingly-fast 500MB/s sequential read and write speeds backed by a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface.

The Patriot Wildfire series feature a standard 2.5-inch form factor for compatibility with notebooks and select desktops. A 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch mounting bracket is included with the Patriot Wildfire for compatibility with standard hard drive mounting.

Expect the Patriot Wildfire to ship in Q2 2011 in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities.
