Patriot Torqx SSD (Solid State Disk) 64GB
Conclusion
What can I say that has not already been said about the new wave of solid state drive other than WOW are they fast. I can over time with more engineering and technologies that they will be getting faster and smaller. In the future you may only have slot on the motherboard for you system memory you may have some for data storage. Right now we can enjoy the increased performance, but to bad it comes with a fairly large price tag. Overtime the prices will come down and the performance will go up and every one will be happy. I will go out on a limb and say that when the price of these drives hit around the $100-120 USD range the manufactures will not be able to keep them in supply.
Patriot has always been on of the fore runners in the memory market and it only makes sense that they are continuing that tradition with the new soled state drives. The Torqx branded Patriot SSD’s come in three size which are 64, 128, and 256 GB which will fit any of your needs or wants.
