The Patriot Memory Pyro SE is the perfect choice for those looking to upgrade to get blazingly fast start up times and near instantaneous access to their data. Powered by the latest SandForce SF-2281 processor and utilizing the ultra-fast SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, The Pyro SE brings the improved performance of synchronous NAND to the brand offering Performance Users and Gamers the speed advantage they demand.
To ensure the Patriot Memory Pyro SE provides rock-solid performance, technologies like TRIM, DuraClass, and DuraWrite have been included. Offering read/write speeds of 500+ MB/s, the Pyro SE will chew through large file transfers and make even the most demanding applications a smooth experience.
With the Pyro SE, Patriot memory has continued pricing very aggressively to offer one of the best price-per-performance ratios on the market. Backed by Patriot Memory's award winning build quality, the Patriot Memory Pyro SE will deliver one of the most reliable choices in performance class SSDs.
TRIM SUPPORTThe Pyro SE Series SSDs offer native TRIM support featured in the latest versions of Windows. It is specifically designed to maintain the performance of the SSD over the lifetime of the drive. The TRIM feature functions by actively deleting invalid data from the SSD’s memory cells to ensure that write operations perform at full speed. Since a memory block must be erased before it can be re-programmed, TRIM improves performance by pro-actively erasing pages containing invalid data, allowing the SSD to write new data without first having to perform a time-consuming erase command.
GARBAGE COLLECTIONThis feature eliminates the need to perform erasure of the whole block prior to every write. The Garbage Collection process accumulates data marked for erase as "Garbage" and perform whole block erase as space reclamation in order to reuse the block. Essentially, Garbage Collection will defragment itself when it’s idle to maintain maximum life of the drive.
SANDFORCE DRIVENDriven by the second generation of SandForce SSD controller (SF-2281), the Pyro SE Series is designed and built to unleash the full potential of the 6Gbps SATA III interface. The Pyro SE pushes the limits in both sequential and random data transfer rates, significantly improving your productivity, gaming, multimedia, and overall computing experience.
ECC (ERROR CORRECTION CODE)Utilizing ECC paired with RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements), the Pyro SE delivers an orders-of-magnitude improvement in drive reliability versus today’s best enterprise HDDs and SSDs. The result is single-drive RAID-like protection and recovery from potentially catastrophic flash block failures – all while avoiding the inefficiencies of traditional RAID.
HIGH PERFORMANCE IOPSThe Pyro SE drive delivers IOPS at up to 85,000 (4K random write)
HIGH PERFORMANCEWith enterprise-class performance, the Pyro SE 240GB breaks ground with up to 550MB/s Read and 520MB/s write speeds. It’s ready to take on the most intense multimedia applications.

Pros: Wicked fast! ATTO benchmark: ~520 MB/s read & write @ larger block sizes ~190 MB/s write and ~100 MB/s read @ 4K (strange read being slower than write here, I know, just reporting my benchmarks) Crystal Disk Mark 3.0.1: ~450 MB/s read ~310 MB/s write Sequential ~400 MB/s read ~300 MB/s write @ 512K ~26 MB/s read ~45 MB/s write @ 4K ~310 MB/s read ~275 MB/s write @ 4K QD32 Absolutely destroys every HDD in existence.
Cons: Higher priced than similar (read: almost identical) SSDs using the Sandforce SF2281 controller. The drive performs the tiniest bit better than others, but the speed difference does not justify the almost one hundred dollar price hike for the Pyro SE 240GB over other SSDs with the same capacity. I only bought this drive due to worries over competitors' drives failing, whereas this model does not appear to have earned such an infamous reputation.
Overall Review: Put this drive in my laptop, replacing a WD Scorpio Black HDD on an Intel HM65 southbridge, and am very pleased with the Pyro SE's performance so far. Windows 7 boot time has been slashed to virtually nothing, almost all programs and menus pop up instantly with everything fully loaded, and the lappy's battery life has been extended by at least 45 minutes. Very cool indeed. Be mindful though, I only have the drive about half full and am already seeing the write speeds decline a tiny bit in benchmarks. This is a common "problem" with these Sandforce controlled drives, as the drive fills up the write speeds drop. Thankfully read speeds are not effected.
