Review on 💾 Patriot Memory Burst 240GB SATA III SSD Internal Solid State Drive 2.5" - Retail Package Bulk 10 Pack by John Ramsey

I bought this to upgrade my old system with a SATA I controller. The controller does not recognize the SSD. I tried two other controller cards (SI chipsets) and neither of them could see the drive. When I put the drive in a SATA III system it worked fine. I ended up pulling an old Crucial MX200 SSD out of the laptop for use in a legacy system and putting that SSD in the laptop. Both had the same capacity (120GB) so I could copy the raw image directly to them. This SSD works great in a laptop. I can't explain why the controller didn't like the hard drive. On Linux I've seen that the SI driver tries to check the drive but gets error messages in response. I suspect that the firmware on this SSD is a bit buggy.
