Patriot is the next memory manufacturer to jump onto the solid state train. It has unveiled a whole range of drives of both the 2.5″ and 3.5″ formfactors, with capacities up to 256GB. After seeing, memory maker after memory maker announce solid state drives of their own, and only a few actually delivering drives, we certainly hope that Patriot Memory is not just another company jumping on to the trend to look cool, but also delivers drives to the market. There’s no word on price or availability.
“We are excited to offer consumers solid state drives, the latest in computing technology,” said Meng Jay Choo, Flash Product Manager for Patriot Memory. “Solid state drives offer many benefits over traditional hard disk drives (HDD) including no moving parts which eliminate the risk of mechanical failure as well as being silent and allowing faster data access because of the lack of a seek-head as found in traditional silicon-platter hard disk drives.”
