Patriot Viper VP4300 2TB, M.2 2280 / M-Key / PCIe 4.0 x4, Kühlkörper

Mit seiner neuen Viper VP4300 Serie hat nun auch Patriot ein Laufwerk im Angebot, das es in den 7-GB/s-Club schafft. Positiv ist außerdem die Beigabe von gleich zwei passiven Kühlkörpern zu erwähnen, zwischen denen Benutzer*Innen wählen können. Preislich müsst ihr euch aktuell auf einen vergleichsweise hohen Preis einstellen.

Second-quarter of this year, Viper Gaming by Patriot, released its latest Gen4 NVMe SSD – the Patriot Viper VP4300 PCIe m.2 Gen4 SSD. It promises sequential read speeds of up to 7,400MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,800MB/s. The new VP4300 is powered by an Innogrit IG5236 Gen4x4 controller. It aims to compete with other Gen4 SSDs that are powered by Phison’s E18 controller. And unlike most SSDs in the market, the Viper VP4300 comes with two optional heatshields; aluminum and a Graphene heat spreader. Let’s find out how the Viper VP4300 SSD performs and if it can keep up with the competition. Please continue reading our Patriot Viper VP4300 M.2 Gen4 SSD review below.

Well it looks like we have a new king of Gen4 NVMe solid state drives as the Patriot Viper VP4300 is the fastest solid state drive that we’ve ever tested! For the 2TB variant that we reviewed today Patriot advertises sequential speeds of 7400 MB/s read and 6800 MB/s write. In our testing we were able to get very close to those numbers. In CrystalDiskMark 8 we achieved a read score of 7130.15 MB/s and write score of 6751.06 MB/s. On the other hand in ATTO Disk Benchmark things were a little slower at 6670 MB/s read and 6340 MB/s write. Even not hitting its advertised speeds it is still the fastest drive we’ve tested in these benchmarks.

Patriot’s Viper VP4300 is a high-end PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD with all the features and performance you could want from an enthusiast-grade SSD, but you'll pay a premium for the privilege.
