Over the years SSDs have transformed themselves from a new and uncertain storage medium to the defacto standard when it comes to performance storage options. There is no question that SSD drives are faster and the capacity has been getting better however there is a sweet spot where price, performance and capacity all converge.

In this review I’ll be looking at a new Performance SSD from Patriot called the P200. This drive is built on the SATA 6 standard and is available in four sizes from 256GB up to 2TB. As with all SSD drives it is important to find a drive with a good controller matched with wear leveling technology to ensure the longest life for your SSD as this will reflect well on TBW and overall drive performance.
