Patriot Announces Wildfire Series SSDs

From DailyTech: Patriot has added new SSDs to its lineup today that are aimed directly at the desktop and notebook market.

The new SSDs are the Patriot Wildfire line and the company claims they are the fastest SSDs that it has ever offered to the public. The new SSDs use the SandForce SF-2200 SSD processor and have 500MB/s sequential read and write speeds. The SSDs use the SATA 6 Gb/s interface for connectivity.

“The Patriot Wildfire is the fastest SSD drive we have ever released to the public,” says Les Henry, Patriot Memory’s Vice President of Engineering. “SandForce has done a fantastic job engineering the SF-2200 SSD processor and combined with our research and development, we are able to further tweak the design and maximize performance with the processor and our flash memory.”

The SSDs are 2.5-inch form factor offerings that will fit in desktops and notebooks. They will ship with mounting bracket to allow use in 3.5-inch drive bays inside desktop computers.

“We are happy to see Patriot Memory is expanding their current SandForce Driven™ product line with the new SandForce SF-2200 and SF-2100 Client SSD Processors,” said Kent Smith, Sr. Director of Product Marketing of SandForce. “Patriot has won numerous awards and we anticipate they will win even more with our latest generation 6.0 Gb/s client processor.”
