Blazing fast, BUT... I have 3 of these. All 3 have died within 2 months of use. Patriot's web forum has lots of users reporting the same. Avoid this drive.

10 year warranty is nothing to sneeze at. I bought mine 6 months ago, after 1 month it failed on me, and after reading online about it, found out that it was part of a bad batch of them. Sent it in(free shipping), 5 days later had a new one with another 10 year warranty; works perfectly. Their customer service is excellent, timely and efficient.
The drive itself is blazing. I am getting over 300mb/s read and give or take 280 write. 32 second start up time from when i press the button(laptop). I have read that others have had their drives fail on them like me, but as far as I know, it was just that one bad batch of them. My experience with Patriot has made me give this product 5 stars. Hopefully yours will be the same!
10 YEAR WARRANTY!!!!

When this drive works it is great. The problem is they tend to die on you. I had one suddenly die on me after a few months of use. I lost everything. I went through the RMA process and got a new drive. I have used it for a few months now and again just like the last one the replacement has died. I lost everything. This time I had a Windows Home Server backing up my system nightly so I can recover everything but it is still not fun. I checked around some forums and it doesn't look like Patriot has this problem under control yet and it has been going on for a long time. I would avoid this drive. In fact now that mine has died again I am going to get a drive from another manufacturer and use my replacement torqx in a secondary system because I can't trust them anymore.

Ater 4 months or so, It just died. I took it to a computer repair shop; nothing doing, completely dead and no way to salvage anything. Total loss of more than $200, plus some important data. There was no warning, not even from a program monitoring all my HDs.

It was the fastest thing in my computer, note I said was! After 3 months of preforming like a champ it died, and just like this drive is quicker than disk drives they fail with 0 warning, unlike a old dick drive that "has problems" before they go, this just up and died with no warning while being used. oh well it will get replaced.

I bought 2 also back in December and both of mine have failed also. Pass on a Patriot SSD. Their customer support and RMA process is also garbage. I would have gave 0 stars but couldn't.
