The measurement of the NVMe Patriot Scorch M was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the NVMe Patriot Scorch M under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the NVMe Patriot Scorch M should be used.
The Patriot Scorch M.2 NVMe SSD is a solid choice for anyone looking for a powerful and reliable storage solution. Here is a detailed overview of this model:
1. Description
The Patriot Scorch M.2 NVMe SSD is an internal solid-state drive (SSD) that uses the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) protocol standard. NVMe is a modern interface for flash storage that enables fast read and write speeds compared to traditional SATA SSDs. Patriot's Scorch series is aimed at gamers, content creators and demanding users who want to speed up their systems.
2. Technical details
- Form factor: M.2 2280
- Size: 22mm x 80mm, which is the common standard for NVMe SSDs.
- Interface: NVMe 1.3
- Protocol: NVMe (faster data transfer rates compared to AHCI-SATA)
- Storage technology: 3D NAND Flash
- Type: TLC (Triple-Level Cell) or QLC (Quad-Level Cell) depending on model and capacity
- Capacity: Typically available in sizes of 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB
- Larger capacities provide more storage for applications, games and large files.
- Perfomance:
- Maximum read rate: Up to 3100 MB/s
- Maximum write rate: Up to 1500 MB/s
- Exact speeds may vary depending on capacity and specific model.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Typically over 1,500,000 hours
- This shows the reliability and durability of the product.
- TBW (Terabytes Written): The endurance of writing, depending on the capacity. For a 1TB SSD, this value is often around 500 TBW.
- Energy consumption:
- Operation mode: Low power consumption compared to older HDDs and some other SSDs.
- Interface Compatibility: Supports PCIe Gen 3 x4
- Backward Compatibility: Works in systems that support PCIe Gen 3 x4.
3. Functions
- DRAM-less Design: Some models in the Scorch series use a DRAM-less design, which means that they do not use a separate DRAM cache chip. Instead, the flash memory is accessed directly. In practice, this may result in a slight drop in performance for certain operations, but saves cost and space.
- SLC Caching: The SSD uses a technique called SLC Caching, which uses a portion of the TLC or QLC memory as a faster SLC (Single-Level Cell) buffer zone to improve write performance.
- Advanced Error Correction: ECC (Error-Correcting Code) is used to ensure data integrity and correct errors during transmission or storage.
- Compatibility with major operating systems: Supports Windows, macOS and Linux systems.
4. Areas of application
- Gaming: The fast data transfer rates make the Patriot Scorch ideal for games that require quick loading times and smooth performance.
- Content Creation: Ideal for video editing, graphic design, and other creative applications that require large files to be loaded and saved quickly.
- General Use: For users who want to upgrade their PC or laptop to take advantage of the speed benefits of the NVMe standard.
- System and program startup: Improved boot times for operating systems and applications compared to traditional hard drives and SATA SSDs.
5. Installation
- Compatibility: Before installation, please check whether the motherboard or laptop supports an M.2 slot and whether it supports the NVMe interface.
- Installation: The SSD is inserted into the M.2 slot of the motherboard and secured with a screw. Operation is usually plug-and-play, although driver updates may be necessary.
6. Maintenance and Software
- Firmware Updates: Patriot occasionally offers firmware updates to improve the performance and stability of the SSD. These can be obtained from the Patriot website download center.
- Management Software: Patriot may provide software tools to manage the SSD, monitor health and performance, and perform firmware updates.
Overall, the Patriot Scorch M.2 NVMe SSD is a powerful and versatile storage solution that is well suited for a wide range of applications, from everyday tasks to intensive applications such as gaming and content creation.
