Patriot Launches SSD Torqx 2

The Patriot manufacturer has announced the launch of Torqx 2, two years after the release of the first version of Torqx. Still at 2.5-inches, this SSD is available in capacities of 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB as its predecessor, Torqx 2 has a 3 Gbps SATA interface. The NAND flash memory chips used are engraved in MLC 3x nm, and 128 MB of cache are present.

The embedded controller is not clearly indicated by Patriot, but we can reasonably assume that it is a model made by JMicron. Supporting the TRIM command, these SSDs show rates of the order of 270 MB / s sequential read and 230 MB / s write. MTBF reaches for his 1.5 million hours. Expected within the next few days, the Torqx 2 should be offered at a price of 419 euros in its 256 GB
