Patriot is celebrating their 25th anniversary this year and since their 1985 inception, the California based company has grown to become a global company with a solid reputation for providing quality memory and storage products. They didn't jump into the SSD market full force as some others have, but they have taken a more conservative approach instead. They are adding to their SSD lineup this month, releasing a value line of SSD's carrying the moniker of Zephyr - a name with roots to Greek mythology.The Zephyr line offers capacities of 64GB and 128GB at $184 & $358, respectively, and can only be found at Amazon.com for the first few weeks of availability. There is also a 256GB version but we have not received word on pricing yet. They all carry the newer JMicron controller which we've seen before on other SSD's and it has shown to be an adequate performer. It will be interesting to see if Patriot's firmware ekes out better performance in the 128GB drive Patriot was kind enough to send us for testing. The performance specification Patriot has published is up to 240MB/s read and 145MB/s write which is decent and leaves headroom for those wanting to gain performance by utilizing a RAID 0 configuration.
