Zitat: + Noch sehr gute Leistungswerte + Höchste Leseleistung im Test - Puristische Ausstattung

Zitat: award Pro: + Available in 60GB, 120GB and 240GB capacities + SandForce SF-2281 processor with DuraClass, DuraWrite and RAISE technologies + Excellent sequential read and write speeds + SATA 6Gb/s interface + Synchronous NAND flash + Supports TRIM, SMART and NCQ + Very well constructed + 3 year warranty + 60GB and 120GB versions are reasonably priced Contra: - Does not include a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter bracket - Not as fast when writing incompressible data - 240GB version is still pricey With the Pyro SE, Patriot has filled the performance gap between the high-end WildFire and the budget friendly Pyro. Aimed at performance users and gamers, the Pyro SE combines SandForce´s SF-2281 controller with Micron´s 25nm synchronous NAND flash. As you saw in our review, this combination produced some impressive performance numbers. In our sequential read and write tests, the drive was able to read at speeds as high as 554 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 470 MB/s. It also took the top spot in our random write tests, delivering more than 73,000 IOPS. As with other SandForce drives, the Pyro SE´s performance did take a hit when reading and writing incompressible data. However, thanks to its synchronous NAND flash, its performance didn´t suffer nearly as much as some other drives. The Pyro SE is available now in 60GB, 120GB and 240GB capacities. Despite its $125 price tag, I have a feeling that most enthusiasts will skip the 60GB Pyro SE in favor of the 120GB and 240GB models. The 120GB Pyro SE currently retails for around $205 on Amazon or for as little as $165 after rebate at places like Newegg . This is a very good price for a 120GB SandForce-based SSD, even when you consider the extra $5-$10 it would cost to buy a desktop bracket. The 240GB Pyro SE currently goes for as little as $410 after rebate, which is in line with the SSDs from the OCZ and Corsair. However, if you look hard enough, you can actually find the 240GB WildFire for less. As usual, we´ll leave the choice up to you.
