Serpent Agility
The Patriot Viper VPR100 RGB is one of the fastest and richest M.2 PCI-E 3.0 x4 SSDs available. The volume can vary from 256 GB to 2 TB. The manufacturer claims a constant sequential read speed of 3300 MB / s, but the write speed depends on the volume: 1000 MB / s for the younger version and 2900 MB / s for the older ones. In fact, the read and write speeds are even slightly higher — 3450 and 3000 MB / s, respectively.
Smart Algorithms
Naturally, as it should be, SSD based on 3D TLC flash memory (here it is 64-layer Toshiba / Kioxia), the virtual SLC caching algorithm was not without. Its work is controlled by the Phison E12 controller — dual-core, eight-channel and generally one of the most powerful among PCI-E 3.0 SSDs. When writing a data volume that is less than an SLC array, the speed is 3000 MB / s. And after the array overflows, the speed decreases, but still remains quite high — 1000 MB / s. The disk then takes time to recover.
Without compromise
The Viper VPR100 RGB has a much-desired separate operational buffer chip, with a fast DDR4 standard and a volume of as much as 1 GB (more precisely, 512 + 512 MB in dual-channel mode 16 + 16-bit). This allows the drive to produce a record high, as for PCI-E 3.0, IOPS — up to 700K. And it also has an increased guaranteed rewrite resource — 1600 TB for a terabyte model, which is twice as much as most competitors.
Shine Christmas tree!
The icing on the cake for the Viper VPR100 RGB is a metal heatsink with LED backlighting, multicolor RGB and motherboard sync. Compatibility with ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light and ASRock Polychrome motherboards is officially announced, but Biostar Vivid LED DJ will most likely work. The backlight is configured using the proprietary Viper RGB APP. The manufacturer also reports that when synchronization is enabled, the read and write speed of the SSD may slow down a little, but in fact, the amount of technical backlight data transmitted is so small that the speed drop is almost not felt. In extreme cases, synchronization can be disabled, while the Patriot Viper VPR100 RGB will still continue to glow.
The fastest among the masses
The only minor drawback of the drive is its wide heatsink, which protrudes a few millimetres beyond the edges of the M.2 PCB. In the case of a compact motherboard, it may be difficult to install a graphics card with a thick backplate, but the likelihood of this is extremely small. In general, the Patriot Viper VPR100 RGB is very fast (both in megabytes per second and in IOPS), efficiently cooled (even under load, the temperature does not exceed 60 °C) and spectacular looking SSD with an increased rewriting resource. Only the newfangled PCI-E Gen4 SSDs, such as the Patriot Viper VP4100 at 5000/4400MB/s and 800K IOPS, are faster than it, and are currently only supported by a handful of motherboards.
