The American brand Patriot with its Viper series literally rammed its way into the gaming component market. Thanks to the use of high-end chips, serious overclocking and affordable prices, Viper RAM bars are found literally in every third gaming assembly. In 2019, the guys at Patriot decided to pull off a similar trick by bringing the Viper series into the SSD market.


Only the best and the best are taken to the Viper ranks, and the selection process for toughness is reminiscent of the famous hell week. All this is done with one goal - even the most hardcore gamer should leave satisfied. Therefore, the well-proven memory controllers from Phison and selected 3D TLC NAND memory were used in the design of these SSDs. All drives are M.2 format, equipped with heatsinks for additional cooling of memory chips, friendly with the NVMe interface and provide the highest data transfer rates.

The frontman of the Viper series was the Viper VP4300 drive, released in 2021, which is based on a bunch of 3D NAND memory chips and a controller from Innogrit, which burst into the big leagues on the wave of popularity of PCI-E 4.0. The characteristics of Viper VP4300 will satisfy even the most demanding modder: the write speed is 7400 MB / s, the read IOPS reaches 800K, and there is a full-fledged SLC cache on board to reduce drawdowns when copying large data arrays. Thanks to the new controller and the symmetrical arrangement of all elements on the top and bottom of the board, the Viper VP4300 turned out to be an unusually cold drive. But there is a radiator just in case.
