Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Patriot P210 1TB SSD SATA 3 2.5 Inch by Wiktor Kowalczyk แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

So, here I would like to analyze everything in more detail. Perhaps I'll start with the controller and memory - in my copy I got a budget bufferless SMI2259XT controller and 144-layer QLC memory from Intel. Not the most pleasant characteristics, but quite tolerable. Since we have a bufferless controller and QLC-type memory, then the SLC cache is about a quarter of the total volume (somewhere around 239GB). That is, until the SLC cache is full, the disk gives out its declared characteristics of 460-520 MB / s for reading and 420 MB / s for writing. How the disk behaves after filling the SLC cache can be seen on the graph. I didnโ€™t show a screenshot of CrystalDiskMark, everything is honest there and the SSD-disk gives out its characteristics. The temperature at maximum load (aida64) strained me a little, it reached 60 degrees, it would seem not so much, but for a Sata SSD these are decent numbers. I took a disk for games / garbage / storage of all sorts of photos, etc. It's been on my hands for less than a month, we'll see how long it lasts. Let me summarize: For the price for which I managed to get it (3300 with a discount from the market) this is definitely a good option with a guarantee, an alternative to it for that kind of money you can take Goldenfir / XrayDisk / KingSpec from Ali, but there is already no guarantee for them and even more huge randomness of controllers/memory. You decide. Sorry for such a somewhat incomplete review or for someone too full of information, I just wanted to share my opinion and a little analysis.

Pros
  • - Price (one of the cheapest tested ssd drives on the market). - You can say a proven brand. - Compliance with specifications.
Cons
  • -The specs don't list a controller, meaning you can get any of the controllers on the market, from the cheap yeestor ys9082hp to the more or less Phison s11. -The type of memory is also not indicated, from which you can have both QLC and TLC.
