SATA III drives have stolen all of the press and talk lately but with the Torqx 2, Patriot is showing they haven’t forgotten all of the SATA II users out there. Phison isn’t a well known name but if the performance of the Torqx 2 is any...

After testing Patriot Torqx2 128 GB SSD the results did not disappoint. While on the outside this drive might not seem any different from other 2.5" form factor solid state drives, the components on the inside tell a completely different story. The...

Patriot's Torqx 2 solid state drive can not impress in our testing. Its performance is about on par with that of a typical high-performance harddrive - far away from other common SSDs today. Why is performance so low? First of all, Patriot has...

I have browsed through the 128GB SSD drives at Newegg and price-wise the Patriot drive is somewhere in the middle of all of them. You can get drives with similar speeds for about the same price. So what makes this stand out? That is the question I...

The Patriot Torqx 2 is a disappointment compared to common SSDs more or less from the last generation of drives. Given the release date, it might have been more appropriate to include something like the Intel SSD 320, but then unfortunately it gets...
