Patriot Memory P200 P200S512G25 512 GB

Descendant of the "people's" SSD

Due to the combination of low price and high quality of production, Patriot SSDs are in great demand among low-cost-conscious users. In 2019, the company decided to update its lineup and, in addition to the popular Burst model, released a new low-cost SSD based on 3D NAND TLC memory and a Silicon Motion SM2258XT controller.

High speed and competent operation of the SLC cache

The novelty stands out for its record-breaking low dollar per gigabyte, good speed performance (460 MB / s for writing, 530 MB / s for reading), comfortable operating temperature under load (less than 40 °C) and competent work of SLC caching. By the way, the capacity of the SLC cache is about 35%, and the speed during long-term copying of large files drops to 240 MB / s, and not 70 – 100 MB / s, like some other models. If we compare the new product with its predecessor in the face of Burst, then it has a 30% increase in the total number of I / O operations per second (90K IOPS versus 60 when reading, and 80K IOPS versus 60 while writing), but at the same time, the resource of work on failure dropped to 320 TB. Although, even in this case, this is one of the highest rates among all low-cost SSDs.

Great replacement HDD

As a result, for relatively little money, you will get a large solid-state drive that is suitable for installing the OS, necessary programs, several large games and a small multimedia library. This is really a great option for replacing the HDD, and the SLC cache is not a hindrance in this case.
