Patriot 64GB SSD, any feedback?

[lenix]

What's up,

I'm thinking of buying this SSD drive Patriot 64gb (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220342).

Anybody familiar with it?

I have never used SSD's before but I got some cash now and I was thinking of an SSD. What do you think ?

The way to go right now is the Intel drives if you have a lot of cash flow or the OCZ vertex check your drive if it have the JMicron (aka junkmicron) don't touch it

All SSDs under $300, excepting the Intel line and the OCZ vertex, stutter because they use an inferior jmicron controller. If you're going MLC ssd, buy the OCZ vertex or Intel

Newegg have the OCZ 60gigs for 189$ with free shipping......

bogus, i have two patriots warp2 in raid0 and didn't have a single stutter
also the new warp3 use the indilinx or whatever chip which is a very good performer and does not stutter. the new super talent mx drivers also use the indilinx and are very good.
intel's are the best but $4 bucks per gig is just outragous

Good for you but the fact remains that many have had the Patriot stutter. It's very well known that the Jmicron controllers (even the "improved" JM602B) are prone to stutter when pushed a little with random writes.
Warp 3 is set up like OCZ Apex/GSKill Titan, 2 JMicron's controllers alongside another Jmicron RAID controller in RAID 0 configuration. Stutter is still present though not as easily done as a single JM602B config.
The Supertalent ME is what uses the Indilinx, this is a good controller thus far, though long-term performance still is a question-mark at this time.

I believe the OCZ vertex is based on an Indilinx controller which is a good controller right now. Also Samsung controllers like the one in the OCZ summit are good as well. Last I knew Patriot only uses the crappy JMicron controllers. I've been using Patriot memory in my last four builds and I love them, but I would not recommend their current line up of SSD's.

If I can believe what I read, the original unreleased firmware for the vertex
did have the same stuttering problem until the engineers re-tuned the
firmware for small random writes at the expense of lower sequential
write speeds.

After all, for marketing purposes, being able to claim a very fast write speed
would be very important and I can see where engineers might make this kind
of trade-off when being pressured by their bosses. :)

I didn't see the article address whether this type of fix would work for those
who already purchased older drives that might have stuttering problems, but
wouldn't that be great if it were that simple.

i have that drive
it still suffers from stuttering like all the OCZ drives with the jmicron controller
it's not worth it imo

get anything that doesn't have that jmicron controller
either the intel or maybe the OCZ vertex drives (i think the vertex doesn't use jmicron)
i think the samsung SSDs are supposed to be good too

Ive had good luck with the Patriot 64gb SSD's running RAID-0, windows 7 x64 runs stable, and its great! Check out this benchmark from hdtune.
