Today we are checking out a new Patriot SSD (Solid-State Drive) that goes by the name PS-100. This new product is designed to provide users with a cost effective SSD using a Phison controller. Already the Patriot PS-100 is one of the cheapest SSDs money can buy and we are going to find out if you should pull the trigger on this new product...

Patriot set out to develop a cost effective SSD with the PS-100 series and while they have created an affordable SSD, we do not feel that the design is very cost effective in terms of the performance vs. price ratio. Truth be told, you are much better off with a traditional HDD (Hard Disk Drive), as it will cost you considerably less, provide significantly more storage space, and deliver a similar level of performance.
