Add a commentPATRIOT, a global leader in performance memory, SSDs, gaming peripherals, and flash storage solutions, is proud to announce the launch of their P200 series 2.5" internal SATA III 6Gbps solid state drive (SSD) today. The P200 series comes equipped with best-quality memory chips and components that have passed a strict quality control process. This process ensures that the P200 series provides the largest storage capacity, fastest read and write speeds and better reliability. P200 series is available in sizes ranging from 256GB and up to 2TB to meet current marking demands for diverse storage options and features the latest SMI 2258XT series controller to achieve the unparalleled transfer speeds of up to 530MB/s read, and 460MB/s write. This speed boost improves systems performance in many ways from response time under heavy loads to initial startup times and transfer speeds across a network.
P200 has trimmed its thickness down from 9mm to 7mm to ensure it will fit into any system while reserving extra space on the backside of motherboard trays in high-end gaming systems. The thickness between the side panel and the motherboard back tray can be quite small making the 7mm height of P200 ideal in these situations while also offering more space for better air circulation and cable management inside the case. The P200 series is a win-win solution for system builders when planning to build a mini PC or tower-style gaming system.
