Patriot Memory Ignite 480GB SSD Review
Much like the SSDNow KC310 SSD line by Kingston the Ignite line by Patriot Memory also features Phison’s PS3110-S10 quad-core 8-channel NAND flash controller (featuring TRIM, NCQ, ETEP, Smart ECC, AES 256Bit encryption and TCG support) with DRAM cache by Nanya (512MB at 1333MHz for the 480GB model) but whereas Kingston has used 19nm Toshiba toggle MLC NAND flash memory modules for their line Patriot Memory chose to go with 16nm Micron asynchronous MLC NAND flash to keep costs low something which will most likely affect performance levels and not in a good way.
