Patriot Torqx 2 Phison SSD Tests @ Benchmark Reviews

Phison SSDs aren’t as well-known to computer hardware enthusiasts as those controllers from SandForce or Indilinx.

The Patriot Torqx 2 SSD is specified to offer 270 MB/s reads over the SATA 3.0 GB/s interface, with write speed reaching 230 MB/s. In this article, Benchmark Reviews confirms these results by testing the Patriot Torqx 2 on a B3-stepping Sandy Bridge platform with plenty of bandwidth headroom.
