More Patriot SSDs on sale and the P210 should be better than the Burst Elite SSDs as these use TLC flash memory instead of QLC and higher endurance with the 2TB offering 960TBW instead of 800TBW in the Burst Elite.

Edit: Drives may contain QLC instead of TLC however it still outperforms the Burst Elite

Like the Burst Elite these are DRAMless so they're not the best choice for an OS drive, but still a good choice for game storage, fast data storage and with USB enclosures.

        You can't use this drive for backups…

        It's for normal day to day use - installing apps, games, photo editing, etc etc - it's absolutely fine at all these normal tasks.

        But gigantic sustained writes? Nope.

          @Nom: Can you recommend another? I knew cheap SSDs were, well cheap but this is beyond anything I expected.

            @hamwhisperer: If your backups are only 250GB as per other post above, then just carry on and don't worry about it - a good chunk of that 250GB will go at full speed anyway, and is it a disaster if the rest goes slower ?

            She'll be right 😎

              @Nom: It's more the time window the backups will be running in.

              I'll have a play with it, it's disapointing though, SSDs hit the full 600Mb/s about 7 or 8 years ago and saturated SATA.

              You'd think even the "terrible!!" ones 8 years later could still do 200.

                @hamwhisperer: They can do 200, and even 600… for a few tens of gigs of writes. It's only after this that the speed drops - and remember that most writes are coming via your internet connection, so the drive really only needs to keep up with that…

                  @Nom: Nope this will be in house, from a quad core intel machine to a quad core intel machine, both with 16GB over gigabit network.

                  The speed will range from about 80 to 120MB/s at best case - normally 110MB/s sustained.

                  I'm down to 48MB/s sustained writes here, that's pretty terrible. We're looking at sub 5400RPM hard drives.

                      EDIT
                      Seriously?

                      It had stopped writing / reading hours ago, so I thought I'd start a fresh write, see how that goes.

                      WHAT?
