Patriot Viper VPR100 NVMe SSD RGB 1TB Review

There are two SK Hynix H5AN4G8NBJR 4GB DDR4 DRAM cache chips (one on each side of the module).

There are four NAND 256GB chips which bring total capacity to 1TB. I couldn’t find more information on these chips.

Phison E12 Series Controller (PS5012-E12) is the heart of VPR100 and is responsible for its transfer speeds. This controller supports capacities from 256Gb to 2TB with approximate 3000MB/s Read/Write Sequential speeds. 4K Random Read/Write has 600K IOPS.

To accelerate flash operation VPR100 has a Holtek 32 bit ARM processor F52231.

Benchmarking

Crystal Disk Mark benchmark at 1GB test size:

AS SSD uses incompressible data for benchmarking and can measure read/write performance in MB/s or in IOPS. AS SSD also has a Copy Benchmark which simulates ISO, Game and program performance, providing both speed and access time results.

Unlike AS SSD, the ATTO disk benchmark is a 32-bit compressible data benchmark that measures read and write speeds across various file transfer sizes from 512B to 64MB to show SSD behavior.

Anvil Storage Utilities is a comprehensive storage testing program that provides plenty of information and option for each test. For this review, the SSD test was selected.
