Patriot viper vp4100 is a new pcie 4.0 ssd drive up to 2tb

The latest generation AMD motherboards brought us PCIe 4.0 and with it also the latest and fastest generation of SSDs. There is no doubt that these new drives take performance to a whole new level and is no different for the new Patriot signature VIPER VP4100 SSD.

Patriot VIPER VP4100 offers up to 2TB

The new VIPER VP4100 comes in two capacity options, 1TB and 2TB. They both have the same specs that include the NVMe Phison E16 driver. The performance of the two is the same with a throughput of up to 5000 MB / s and a random throughput of up to 800K IOPS.

Although we are used to seeing ATTO's best performance, this is not the case for Gen4 SSDs. Throughput is 4700 MB / s read and 4200 MB / s write with ATTO Disk Benchmark. CrystalDiskMark, on the other hand, shows us a performance of up to 5000MB / s in reading and 4400MB / s in writing. As mentioned above, this is valid for both the 1TB and 2TB versions. 800K IOPS random performance is both read and write, making it a truly fast drive.

As you would expect, the unit is also compatible with the third generation PCIe, albeit at lower speeds. In order to take advantage of all that speed, we will need a compatible motherboard and processor.

Endurance shouldn't be a problem for the Patriot VIPER VP4100 as it's backed by a 5-year warranty. When a company gives such a guarantee to a unit, it knows that it will last a long time. It has a TBW rating of 1800TB for every 1TB of capacity, which is also pretty good.

We already know the prices of the two versions, but they are not yet available. The 1TB model has a recommended retail price of $ 399.99, while the 2TB version has a retail price of $ 599.99.
