As long as the firmware is up to date and drivers are running properly, SandForce is still the ideal controller for users who want optimal performance without spending too darn much money. Our testing revealed Patriot’s Inferno 120GB SSD is as...
If Patriot's 120GB Inferno was the only SandForce-powered SSD on the market, we'd be lauding the drive for its super-quick performance. Realistically, the drive is one of many, and when put up against the award-winning OCZ Vertex 2, the...
