Patriot Wildfire 120GB Solid State Drive Review
Andy Ruffell / 12 years ago
The drive itself is a standard affair as we expect with any 2.5″ based SSD. The bulk of the drive is made from a dark grey metal surface with thee Wildfire sticker in the middle which denotes exactly what capacity you have and informs you of the size and interface, in case you forgot.
On the back of the drive we find the same metal surface and another large sticker, though this time we find all of the relevant serial and part numbers including the model and firmware revision details.
On the side of the gun-metal grey aluminium casing, we find two mounting points for installing the drive. These are evenly spaced out for the best compatibility with your chosen installation location.
The SATA data and power connectors are also situated in the usual location for complete compatibility when installing into a dock or other similar device.
As stated earlier on, the drive runs on a SandForce controller, which is where we find the much talked about SF-2881 controller that is used in plenty of SSDs on the market. We also find eight Toshiba branded flash memory chips on this side.
Turning things over we simply find another eight Toshiba branded flash memory chips and a few other components that make the drive tick, so to speak..
