Two really cheap SATA 2.5" SSD on sale. It's definitely not high performance like other brands, but would be suitable for use as a portable SSD with the countless cheap enclosure deals posted recently.

The Patriot P210 128GB SSD for $26.12 is a newer model and likely will perform faster.

    If it holds top 100 pornhub vids, does it count?

  There's also this one for $1 more which is 128GB. Have no idea what the difference is beside 8GB more storage

    Thanks added. It's a much newer model so I think it should be better.

    Burst got a tiny bit of dram, but much older. 210 is dramless.

  I'd take the Burst over the 210. Better longevity, and such a small drive will most likely be only used as a boot drive, so it's not much of a storage trade-off

  One of the advantages of the Patriot Burst is that it uses very little power to operate (under 1W): https://www.tuxad.com/blog/archives/2019/01/06/power_measuri…

  That makes it useful if you want to use it within a portable drive enclosure connecting to a USB 2.0 port with only a single cable. For example, for use with a Wii/Wii U.

  Stay away from the patriot ssd. From my experience they run like a HDD also it’s starting to die after about a year and a half use.

  Solid information is hard to come by for these drives (especially for the smaller capacities).

  Fortunately I was able to find and translate some Russian reviews to give me a better sense of what they are capable of.

  In short, they are not great. They are a step below the usual cheap suspects like the A400, BX500, WD Green. This is especially true for sustained writes.

  Having said that, I purchased the 120gb yesterday because I wanted the absolute cheapest boot drive I could get my hands on for an old Core Duo 2 machine.

  If anyone is interested just PM me and I'll run a benchmark on the drive.

    I'd be curious to see a CrystalDisk benchmark. I saw some initial reviews in the 500mb/s but later with 300mb/s indicating cheaper or possibly recycled NAND flash.

      No worries, it should arrive in the next couple of days and then I'll report back.

      Agreed, the reviews are all over the place but I think the general consensus is that they tend to sit in the 300mbs range.

      I purchased it because I figured the small amount of DRAM it comes with should offer good burst performance for smaller files e.g. booting the OS.

    How did it perform? I'm thinking of getting one for an old laptop too.
