Patriot Torqx 128GB SSD Review

First Impressions

In a similar colour scheme to that of the OCZ Vertex, the Patriot Torqx comes in a black and silver colored case. The silver of course comes from the fact that this bottom lid is denude of paint and we are looking at bare metal.


All in all, there really isn't much to talk about here as Patriot didn't really include much in the way of labeling. The Torqx has a serial and model number at the power and data port end of the lid, just like the Warp v2 but there are no power usage numbers nor any of the information required for some countries. This is too bad as the Falcon and Vertex both post max power numbers on their Indilinx-based drives and it would have been nice to have a third one to compare against.


As with the other two Indilinx-based SSD units we have reviewed to date, the Torqx has the two pin jumper located next to the data ports. We would have been surprised if they had not included it.
